Do I do same on other side of switch? I see there are some kind of secret key in ospf? What's it for I have not seen in any of my search on internet. Are you also running this in live production?<br />
<br />
Thanks
</div>


<div>
Also why is vlan 93 tag on port 3 and untag on port 1? I assume this is a single area ospf?
</div>


<div>
Yes, this is from a live environment.<br />
Port 1 goes to a Cisco PIX, which only provides failover internet access.<br />
Port 3 goes to a core Cisco 6509 which, which provide some other VLANs in layer2.<br />
<br />
In this setup OSPF is only used to give a default route dynamically to the HP: if everything is okay, the default route points to the C6509, if the link goes down, the PIX (with an ADSL) is the default route so the office has at least internet access.<br />
Not the best setup ever, but it works.<br />
<br />
Using security is not mandatory in OSPF, but you can use it with passwords.

Very nice. Can I see more config and can I also see another hp switch directly connect to this core switch. Many thanx.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
