RFC 1453 specified a default OSPF configuration that my (ACC) Router came up with by default. The only configuration necessary was to supply IPv4 prefixes/addresses to the interfaces and to turn OSPF on. In the context of a home, I suspect it would be pretty close. Fundamentals: default values for most attributes are as specified in the OSPF RFC, the metric is the duration of a bit in 10 ns units (which in LAN networks becomes a hop count), and all interfaces are in area zero. Change things to your heart's content, but the default configuration is one that actually works for most purposes in a small network. I'll entertain arguments that this doesn't address every possible configuration, but for the networks we're discussing, I'll argue that its "close enough". _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
