The network command for IGP (OSPF RIP etc) enables IGP on the interfaces (BGP is a different case). Like for OSPF it tells the router which interfaces are in which areas. And it causes the router to start sending OSPF hellos on matching interfaces. In the example, the mask indicates that any interfaces in the range 131.108.0.0 through 131.108.31.255 should be in area 0, and interfaces in the range 131.108.64.0 through 131.108.95.255 should be in area 2.
Area 1 Area2 131.108. 0. 0 131.108. 64. 0 0. 0. 31.255 0. 0. 31.255 --------------- --------------- 131.108. 31.255 131.108. 95.255 Here's the Cisco router configuration: interface Ethernet 0 ip address 131.108.1.2 255.255.255.192 interface Serial 0 ip address 131.108.64.1 255.255.255.192 router ospf 1 network 131.108.0.0 0.0.31.255 area 0 network 131.108.64.0 0.0.31.255 area 2 Some people prefer to Keep It Simple, configuring network 131.108.1.2 0.0.0.0 area 0. This tells the router that precisely the address 131.108.1.2 is in area 0. That's certainly simple: keep the mask 0.0.0.0, and just specify each interface address. Of course, it's a bunch of typing on a bigger router with lots of interfaces. Now in case of Juniper, You add interfaces under OSPF configuration instead of network commands. Here is the Juniper router configuration: ospf { area 0.0.0.0 { interface fe-0/0/0.0 } area 0.0.0.2 { interface se-0/0/0.0; } } Regards, Masood -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maurice Gil Cruz Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 9:05 PM To: juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: [j-nsp] cisco "network" command equivalent Hi guys, I just would like to know the equivalent of the cisco command "network <ip> mask <mask>" in juniper. If there is none, I would like to know as to how junos is able to advertise the routes without declaring the networks/unicast addresses to be advertised. Please help. God bless!
