Summary
This chapter provided considerable OSPF information and samples for your use. The discussion began with altering the costs, working with loopback interfaces, and discussing everything you need to know to get OSPF working.
The primary topics of this chapter were how OSPF creates routes as well as how OSPF configuration. Reviewing the different area configurations and options provided a detailed look into the different area types and the ways to fine-tune each to effect routing in an OSPF network.
The remainder of the chapter provides case studies that can help you review these concepts and introduce a few more to prepare you for the topics of summarization and redistribution in Chapter 6.
