Designated Routers
To further reduce the amount of routing traffic, the Hello protocol elects a
designated router and a backup designated router on each multiaccess broadcast
network. Instead of neighboring routers forming adjacencies and exchanging link
state information with each other (which on a large network can mean a lot of
routing protocol traffic), all routers on the network form adjacencies with the
designated router and the backup designated router only and send link state
information to them. The designated router then redistributes the information from
each router to every other router.
The Hello protocol always elects a backup designated router along with the
designated router. The backup designated router takes over all of the designated
router’s functions should the designated router fail.
AS External Routes
OSPF considers the following routes to be AS external (ASE) routes:
• Static route (host, network, or default)
• Route derived by RIP or BGP
• Directly connected network not running OSPF
In Figure 1-6
, for example, routers R1 and R2 are boundary routers that use BGP
to connect the backbone to external ASs. R7 in area 0.0.0.1 and R15 in area
0.0.0.3 are also boundary routers that use RIP to connect to external ASs. R19 in
area 0.0.0.4 connects the area to an external AS via BGP.
