Just when you are considering some well-deserved time off, given the success of the recently deployed RIPv2 internetwork, you receive notification from the new CIO that the Beer-Co network must migrate to OSPF as part of a modernization initiative. Beer-Co has conducted a design review and determined that a single OSPF area with the ability to expand to a hierarchal design in the near future is required.
Considering the migration methods described in the previous section and the current design criteria, you propose an overlay-based migration. The reasons for this recommendation include the following:
Both the legacy and planned networks are flat.
Both the legacy Cisco and new Juniper Networks gear support the legacy and new IGPs.
Itâs the most direct migration strategy, and you are still smarting from tilting at RIP.
Figure 4-9 shows the before, during, and after networks. In the middle, both IGPs are running, but altered preferences ensure that RIP routes remain active, which provides you the chance to verify all aspects of OSPF before its routes become active. The key to the overlay model is altered protocol preferences, and the figure also shows the beginning, initial modification, and final preference values for RIP and OSPF internal/external routes.
The critical point occurs before OSPF is activated (especially in IOS, where changes take effect immediately as they are entered). Both the internal and external preferences are set so that RIP remains unperturbed until you are ready to retire it. Failing to ensure that OSPF external preference is set lower (is more preferred) than RIP leads to a Frankenstein-like forwarding model that has the simulated customer networks and redistributed loopback routes forwarding over OSPF paths while the internal routes continue to forward via RIP.
The Juniper boxes are configured first (recall that, until you
commit, no change takes effect, so you have a safety net of rollback or
commit confirmed in case you do not like the results). The OSPF stanza is
displayed at Ale along with the
associated set commands using the CLIâs
show | display set command. The
authentication key value jncie is
reused here. Also of note are the altered preference values for OSPF
internal and external routesâthat authentication is configured at the area
level while the specifics are set on a per-interface basis:
[edit protocols ospf] lab@Ale#showpreference 105; external-preference 106; export ospf_export; ## 'ospf_export' is not defined area 0.0.0.0 { authentication-type md5; interface fe-0/0/0.69 { authentication { md5 1 key "$9$Yb4JD3nCu0I.PF/"; ## SECRET-DATA } } interface fe-0/0/0.1121 { authentication { md5 1 key "$9$WitXNbiHmTQn4ajq"; ## SECRET-DATA } } } [edit protocols ospf] lab@Ale#show | display setset protocols ospf preference 105 set protocols ospf external-preference 106 set protocols ospf export ospf_export set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 authentication-type md5 set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface fe-0/0/0.69 authentication md5 1 key "$9$Yb4JD3nCu0I.PF/" set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface fe-0/0/0.1121 authentication md5 1 key "$9$WitXNbiHmTQn4ajq"
Like RIP, OSPF requires an export policy for route redistribution,
and the CLIâs copy feature is evoked to
save some effort:
[edit protocols ospf] lab@Ale#top edit policy-options[edit policy-options] lab@Ale#copy policy-statement rip_export to policy-statementospf_export[edit policy-options] lab@Ale#edit policy-statement ospf_export[edit policy-options policy-statement ospf_export] lab@Ale#showterm 1 { from protocol direct; then accept; } term 2 { from { protocol static; route-filter 200.0.1.0/24 exact; } then { metric 3; accept; } } term 3 { from protocol rip; then accept; }
Looking over the copy of the RIP policy, now in its renamed ospf_export form, it seems that the only term
that is out of place is term 3 and the
bit about matching RIP. You certainly do not want any RIP-to-OSPF
redistribution in this example! We remove term
3 (committing the changes) and make similar changes to Lager:
[edit policy-options policy-statement ospf_export]
lab@Ale#delete term 3After a few moments, the OSPF adjacency status is confirmed between
Ale and Lager. Recall that Malt and Barley have not been configured with OSPF at
this time:
[edit]
lab@Ale#run show ospf interface

fe-0/0/0.1121 DR 0.0.0.0 10.10.128.1 10.10.128.2 1
fe-0/0/0.69 DR 0.0.0.0 10.10.128.1 0.0.0.0 0The output from the show ospf
interface command confirms that OSPF is running on the desired
interfaces and that local router Ale
has won the DR election on both of its interfaces. Considering that
Ale is alone (zero neighbors have been
detected) on its fe-0/0/0.69 interface,
its DR status on that segment should be no surprise. You can also verify
the area 0 setting and that the only other router on the fe0-0/0/0.1121 link has delegated itself to be
the backup DR. Remember that priority and RID factor only during an active
election. Given the matched priority and Aleâs lower RID (its lo0 address is lower than Lagerâs), this must be a case of Ale having been configured for OSPF first. The
first non-0 priority router up always becomes the DR:

MultiRecvShowing the routes learned via OSPF confirms several important
points. One is simply that routes are being learned via OSPF (Lagerâs 10.10.126.2 loopback and the 192.168.2.0
link to Barley), and equally
significant is that none of these learned OSPF route are currently
active.
Tip
Unlike IOS, which requires that you run OSPF on the loopback
interface to advertise its associated route, JUNOS software
automatically advertises a stub route to the
default address used as the source of the RID,
assuming that a RID has not been explicitly set under [routing-options]. Because the lo0 interface is the first to be activated,
the lo0 interfaceâs
primary address is used as the RID. In contrast,
for IOS it is common to either run a passive OSPF instance on the
loopback interface or to redistribute the connected router into OSPF, as
shown in the following example.
A final confirmation that our route preference changes are working
comes when we display the route to Lagerâs customer network at Ale:
[edit]
lab@Ale#run show route 200.0.2.0
inet.0: 19 destinations, 22 routes (19 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both
200.0.2.0/24 *[RIP/100] 02:47:22, metric 4, tag 0

[OSPF/106] 00:09:29, metric 3, tag 0
> to 10.10.129.2 via fe-0/0/0.1121Perfect! Ale has both OSPF and
RIP copies of the customer route. The key thing here is that the original
RIP version is, and has always been, active. Unlike RIP, the displayed
OSPF route metric does not reflect Aleâs interface costs to reach Lager. With the default scaling factor of
100,000,000, the cost for Aleâs Fast
Ethernet interface is 1 (you can confirm this with a show ospf interface detail command), so you
might expect to see Ale display a cost
of 4 for the 200.0.0.2/24 prefix. The reason for this situation is that
the OSPF_export policy at Lager did not bother to specify a Type 1
external metric, so the default Type 2 metric is generated, and by OSPF
standards this metric is never incremented by other routers. A sample of a
policy modification that alters the metric type is provided, along with
the results observed back at Ale. These
changes are then rolled back to restore the initial behavior:
[edit policy-options policy-statement ospf_export] lab@Lager#showterm 1 { from protocol direct; then accept; } term 2 { from { protocol static; route-filter 200.0.2.0/24 exact; } then { metric 3; external {type 1; } accept; } } [edit] lab@Ale#run show route 200.0.2.0inet.0: 19 destinations, 22 routes (19 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both 200.0.2.0/24 *[RIP/100] 03:03:06, metric 4, tag 0 > to 10.10.129.2 via fe-0/0/0.1121 [OSPF/106] 00:02:35,metric 4,tag 0 > to 10.10.129.2 via fe-0/0/0.1121
With the OSPF overlay working on the Juniper Networks portion of the
network, we place the equivalent configuration into effect at the Cisco
boxes. It is critical that the modified OSPF preference (setting both the
internal and external to a distance higher than RIPâs) be the first thing
configured to help ensure that RIP is not impactedâin IOS land, changes go
into effect as soon as they are entered. By default, IOS assigns the same
administrative distance to OSPF internals and externals (and interarea,
for that matter), so we should adopt the same approachâas long as the
distance for all OSPF routes is less preferred than RIP, it will be OK.
The commands entered on Malt are shown.
Similar commands are also entered on Barley.

The resultant OSPF portion of the configuration is shown next, along
with the new route map. Note the log message in the previous capture
reporting an up adjacency on Maltâs
fa 0/1.69 interface. This is a good
indication that we have compatible OSPF settings between the Cisco and
Juniper routers.
router ospf 10 log-adjacency-changes area 0 authentication message-digest redistribute static route-map TAGGING network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0 network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 default-information originate route-map FOO distance 125 ! . . . route-map FOO permit 20 match ip address 4 set tag 100 !
The configuration creates an OSPF instance identified as 10, enables
MD5 authentication in area 0, redistributes and route-maps the same routes
used in the RIP example, and enables OSPF area 0 in the serial 0/0 and fa
0/1.60 interfaces. Note that in the IOS implementation, OSPF
will not redistribute a default static route. You must use the default-information originate command instead.
Using the preexisting TAGGING route map
did not work, so a new route map named FOO was created. Itâs things such as this that
make you appreciate the consistent nature of JUNOS software routing
policy.
In an approach that is similar to JUNOS software OSPF configuration,
the specific MD5 key ID and key value are set under each interface. The
difference is that for JUNOS software, this was done within the OSPF
configuration proper, whereas for IOS, it is under the interface
configuration. The OSPF authentication settings are also shown for one of
Maltâs interfaces:

After a few moments, the OSPF status is analyzed on Malt:

in effect. As expected, Ale remains the
DR because in OSPF, this DR election is not revertive.

confirms the expected adjacencies to both Barley and Ale. We next display a simulated customer route
to confirm that the RIP copy is still being used at the Cisco
boxes:

The output confirms that the RIP version of the route is still active. Unfortunately, IOS displays only the active route, making it hard to confirm that OSPF shadow versions also exist. The LSDB is inspected to make this determination:

it from all other sources of AS external LSAs in the OSPF RD. The output
confirms that Lagerâs customer route
(200.0.2/24) is being advertised into OSPF.
With various aspects of OSPF operation confirmed, itâs time to make the cut from RIP to OSPF. This should be a nondisruptive process, but as with all IGP migration procedures, itâs best to perform the cutover in a maintenance window as added insuranceâthe interplay of complex internetworking protocols is sometimes hard to predict. The actual transition normally occurs in two phases. First, make the OSPF routes active, and then, after you confirm proper operation, remove all traces of the legacy protocol and reset the new protocol to its default preference values.
To achieve the first goal you could reconfigure the OSPF internal and external preferences to be more preferred than RIP, or you could alter RIPâs preference to be less preferred than OSPF. Either way, if something blows up, you can roll back or simply remove the OSPF configuration, and return to RIP operation while determining what went wrong. Given that IOS is now set with a single preference for both OSPF and RIP, the amount of change is a wash. On the JUNOS devices, it will be easier to change the one RIP preference rather than both OSPF values. Therefore, the plan is to set the RIP administrative distance to 126 on the IOS devices, while setting the RIP preference to 107 on the JUNOS devices. In both cases, the change will make RIP a less-preferred protocol.
The changes are shown for the Juniper router Ale. Similar commands are also executed at
Lager:
[edit protocols]
lab@Ale#set rip group rip preference 107The RIP administrative distance is altered on both IOS boxes:
Malt#conf terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Malt(config)#router ripMalt(config-router)#distance 126
After a few moments, itâs confirmed that the OSPF version of
Lagerâs 200.0.2.0 route is now
preferred at Barley:
Barley#show ip route 200.0.2.0Routing entry for 200.0.2.0/24 Known via "ospf 10", distance 125, metric 3, type extern 2, forward metric 1 Last update from 192.168.2.2 on FastEthernet0/1.70, 00:03:42 ago Routing Descriptor Blocks: * 192.168.2.2, from 10.10.128.2, 00:03:42 ago, via FastEthernet0/1.70 Route metric is 3, traffic share count is 1
Back at the Juniper side of things, you should make a similar determination as to which set of routes is preferred. Note how routes learned through multiple sources are clearly shown in JUNOS software, and that the active versions of these routes are now OSPF-based:

both of which are tagged due to route-map actions. Here, Ale has installed the default generated by
Barley (tag 200), with the RIP
version learned directly from Malt
also listed (tag 100). The JUNOS software CLIâs matching function is
used to identify any remaining active RIP routes. The \ is used here to escape the * character, so it is not incorrectly expanded
as a shell wildcard, rather than a specific match condition:

host routes from the MaltâBarley serial link are still active as a RIP
route. This is not an issue, as the related subnet 10.1.254.0/24 is
correctly advertised into OSPF (see the previous route display). These
results confirm that itâs safe to remove RIP from the internetwork.
Things begin first at the Juniper Networks boxes:
[edit]
lab@Ale#delete protocols ripAnd then the change occurs at the Cisco boxes:
Malt#conf terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Malt(config)#no router ripMalt(config)#^ZMalt#
Though not shown, the related RIP policy and route maps can now be
safely removed. After a few moments of waiting, no angry users surface,
and OSPF routing is verified at Ale.
Perhaps itâs now time for that vacation....

RIP-to-OSPF migration that you have been asked to bring up an Area 1
attachment to router PBR. This is to
be a stub area, with a default route injected by the areaâs ABR so that
PBR can reach the various OSPF
external destinations now present in the new network. Figure 4-10 shows the new topology. You may
assume that interface parameters are correctly set.
In Figure 4-10âs example,
PBRâs fe-0/0/1 interface has been looped back (to
ensure that itâs declared up, even if not connected), and five VLANs
have been created, each with an IP address in the form of
200.10.x.1/24. All five of these logical interfaces
have been placed into OSPF area 1, which has been set as a stub area.
PBRâs OSPF and fe-0/0/1 configuration is as follows:
[edit] lab@PBR#show interfaces fe-0/0/1vlan-tagging; fastether-options { loopback; } unit 1 { vlan-id 1; family inet { address 200.10.1.1/24; } } unit 2 { vlan-id 2; family inet { address 200.10.2.1/24; } } unit 3 { vlan-id 3; family inet { address 200.10.3.1/24; } } unit 4 { vlan-id 4; family inet { address 200.10.4.1/24; } } unit 5 { vlan-id 5; family inet { address 200.10.5.1/24; } } [edit] lab@PBR#show protocols ospfarea 0.0.0.1 { stub; interface fe-0/0/1.1; interface fe-0/0/1.2; interface fe-0/0/1.3; interface fe-0/0/1.4; interface fe-0/0/1.5; interface fe-0/0/0.1141; }
Meanwhile, a compatible OSPF area 1 configuration has been added
at Ale:
[edit protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1]
lab@Ale#show
stub default-metric 10;
interface fe-0/0/0.1141;Note that to inject a default route into the stub, you must
specify a default metric. After a few moments, OSPF operation is
confirmed at PBR. The show ospf neighbor command confirms that the
adjacency to Ale is
established:
[edit protocols ospf]
lab@PBR#run show ospf neighbor

10.10.130.1 fe-0/0/0.1141 Full 10.10.128.1 128 39The display of OSPF routes verifies the presence of the default
route, injected by ABR router Ale,
and reveals an absence of AS externals, which are not permitted in a
stub network. Only LSA types 1, 2, and 3 are
permitted in a stub areaâthe OSPF route table at PBR contains only intraarea and interarea
routes, thus confirming this aspect of OSPF stub area operation:

default route to reach external destinations because AS external LSAs
are not advertised into stub areas:

> to 10.10.130.1 via fe-0/0/0.1141You can add the no-summaries
keyword to the area 1 configuration at the stub areaâs ABR (Ale) to also filter Type 3 network summary
LSAs, which also result in the use of a default route for interarea
destinations. With this change, a totally stubby area is born:
[edit protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1] lab@Ale#set stub no-summaries[edit protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1] lab@Ale#commit
The results are confirmed at PBR, whose LSDB just got much smaller:

Area 1 is now quite optimized, but it has been called to your
attention that the five 200.10.x.1/24 networks
owned by PBR are being flooded into
the backbone as individual Type 3 network summary LSAs. This is normal
for OSPF, but your CIO wants to run a tight ship and has asked that
you generate a single summary LSA into area 0 in place of the current
five. Before making changes, you confirm that the CIO has correctly
described the network summary situation by displaying Type 3 LSAs
generated by ABR Ale. Note that
these summaries are in backbone area 0.

Taking note of Lagerâs
current area 0 LSDB state, you make a change to the area 1 portion of
Ale, which results in the
summarization of matching network summary LSAs:
[edit protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1] lab@Ale#set area-range 200.10/16[edit protocols ospf area 0.0.0.1] lab@Ale#showstub default-metric 10 no-summaries; area-range 200.10.0.0/16; interface fe-0/0/0.1141;
The area-range statement
replaces individual network summaries that fall within the configured
range with a single network summary representing the entire range.
Adding the restrict keyword as part
of the area-range statement serves
to block any network summaries that are equal in length to the
area-rangeâs mask. In other words,
the area-range is normally a
longer function with regard to prefix length, but
adding the restrict keyword alters
this match type to that of orlonger. The latter results in filtering of
any summaries equal in length to the specified
area-range prefix length.
Your work is confirmed with a look at the network summaries now
advertised into area 0 by Ale:

200.10.x.1/24 networks on PBR is confirmed:

This section demonstrated a typical RIP-to-OSPF IGP migration using the overlay model. This was demonstrated in a multivendor environment to help show that the principles and procedures are somewhat universal, albeit with slightly varied command syntax that serves only to confuse the innocent. The modification of global route preferences allowed a smooth, hitless transition. Once the new IGP was found to be operating as expected, a quick change of preference resulted in use of the new IGPâs forwarding paths while retaining the legacy IGPâs configuration (and legacy protocol neighbors/adjacency state), in the event that the change needs to be backed out quickly. The migration ends with the removal of all legacy IGP traces from the router configurations.
This section also showed the conversion of a flat OSPF network into a hierarchical design that included the function of stub networks, totally stubby networks, and area-range syntax to consolidate network summaries as they enter the backbone.
Now is a good time to take another break. The next section continues our discussion of IGP migration, but this time in the context of an EIGRP-to-OSPF scenario.
