Abstract
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for automatic Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) configuration involves at a first router, receiving OSPF communications from a second router and at the first router, deriving OSPF configuration for the first router based on the received OSPF communications to match OSPF configuration of the second router.
Claims20
A method for automatic Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) configuration, the method comprising:
- at a first router, receiving OSPF communications from a second router;
- and
- at the first router, deriving OSPF configuration for the first router based on the received OSPF communications to match OSPF configuration of the second router.
A router, the router comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive OSPF communications from a second router;
- and
- a controller connected to the transceiver and configured to derive OSPF configuration for the router based on the received OSPF communications to match OSPF configuration of the second router.
A method for automatic Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) configuration, the method comprising:
- at a first router, receiving an OSPF hello packet from a second router;
- and
- at the first router, deriving OSPF configuration for the first router from the OSPF hello packet to match OSPF configuration of the second router, wherein the OSPF configuration for the first router comprises an OSPF area identification (ID) or an OSPF interval.
