I think I have reached my 'rule' actually. In a normal situation, I would want the Internet ASBRs injecting default routes on area 0, as that is where everything is passing through anyway. This assumes a 'clean' environment where the only things being routed in the OSPF AS are private addresses.

Yes, it is an Internet ASBR, there are others, and its only purpose is to advertise a default route + local DMZ into OSPF. The ASBR would get a default route from BGP. In turn the ISP is advertising a default route via BGP into the outside router. The plan is that if the ISP stops advertising

I understand that there are many ways to, umm, do you-know-what to the cat, but what I am looking for is a higher guiding philosophy or rule to use as a foundation to guide the rest of the process. My understanding of the high-level OSPF process is that OSPF wants to route traffic from area a to

That is why I am asking the question - it is unclear! Let me try it this way: If we take the textbook Internet setup, we would have an outside router - BGP firewall inside router - OSPF ASBR to BGP core router - OSPF backbone On the inside router, would I create an ASBR with area 0 defines on

Why not just push default into your OSPF network from a router(s) with a direct link to your firewall. Then your firewall simply points default to the BGP speaking router (or uses vrrp or some igp for resilient routing in the case of multiple routers) Running BGP through your firewall, or

I'm afraid your question isn't clear. By definition, an ASBR connects two unlike networks, one that is running OSPF and one that isn't. So, the ASBR will connect to the Internet in your example. Steve Ringley wrote: I have an OSPF network, and I have my Internet connections. Do I: ASBR
