Re: Last question on OSPF point-to-multi nonbroadcast [7:38189]

2002-03-15 Thread Cebuano

True,
But i think i'm looking at this more from a semantics issue where the book
(or any other source) is saying...
Now OSPF, since you are in an NBMA environment, you will default to a
nonbroadcast behaviour, okay?
But then if you do put him/her in a very NBMA netowrk, e.g. ATM, this
default behaviour is not implemented properly, so we then knock his/her
head and say,
You are now entering NBMA airspace...
My point is, it might have been less confusing if they just removed the
default behaviour part and just stick to explaining how it works in
different environments.
As an instructor, i can see where a lot of students would get very confused
with this sort of explanation from CCO.
Thanks.
Elmer

 It's point-to-multipoint without automatic neighbor discovery.  All the
 advantages of P2M, with the added control of manually specifying your
 neighbors.

 I don't usually use it - but it's another tool in the shed, just in
case...

 Hi,
 Just a simple question.
 If OSPF subinterfaces in an NBMA default to nonbroadcast multiaccess
mode,
 then what's the point of having point-to-multipoint nonbroadcast?
 I must be misreading something here.

 Thanks.

 Elmer
