I use OSPF quite a lot, and I have followed John/Chuck/Pricilla/Larry L ..... and a few others and re-done my configs and moved the actual interfaces into the ospf statements. I had problems the other way (maybe because sometimes I rush through my configs and wonder why they don't work the next day)

[7:62463] In OSPF, the network statement specifies which interfaces will participate in OSPF routing. Use whichever syntax you prefer. Your first example would cause all interfaces in the 10.10.10.0/24 range to participate. Your second example activates only the interface with the IP address 10.10.10.1. It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. As a guideline, though, many including myself would suggest that you always be as specific as possible, using one network statement with a mask of 0.0.0.0 for each interface. This is a little more work but it reduces errors and aids in troubleshooting. Regards, John >>> "Cisco Nuts" 2/4/03 1:52:53 PM >>> Hello, Is there a rule of thumb on specifying the network commands in an Ospf FR topology? Ex. for netw. 10.10.10.1/24, would one specify under ospf: #router ospf 1 #netw 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 OR #router ospf 1 #netw 10.10.10.1 0.0.0.0 area 0 Which one?? Is the network specified or the host address itself. Does it depend if it's a frame-relay full-mesh (ip ospf network broadcast/non-broadcast) or partial-mesh (ip ospf network point-to-multipoint) ? Thank you.
