Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol widely used in enterprise networks for its scalability, fast convergence, and efficient route calculation. This lab focuses on OSPF fundamentals, including area design, LSAs (Link-State Advertisements), and neighbor relationships. Advanced topics such as OSPF route filtering, redistribution, stub areas, and Fast Convergence techniques are also covered.
The lab includes real-world scenarios for optimizing OSPF in multi-area environments, implementing OSPFv3 for IPv6, and troubleshooting common issues.
By mastering OSPF, network engineers can design resilient, high-performance routing architectures for enterprise networks.
