Hello guys,
I have a question about OSPF and PPPoE!
Let’s say I have this situation (bridged network):
Gateway
|
Wireless Backbone (multiple hops)
|
Router ------> Other wireless backbones to other zones
|
Wireless AP (PPPoE server with /24 pool)
|
Users CPE
How could I organize OSPF? Should I add multiple areas?
I would like to summarize PPPoE users, so I should add area on Wireless AP to make it ABR, right?
But to achieve this should I have all other routers and access point in the backbone area?
If you plan to aggregate then avoid redistribution as much as possible because external routes pass right through ABRs unscathed. If you make each AP into an ABR with an area range and a passive interface in the ‘customers’ area, this would advertise the range just as you’re planning.
Is it possible to make the core router the only PPPoE server on a 10.x OSPF network, but hand the clients a public ip a couple hops away at a remote tower? Or does the server need to be the router on the other side of the bridged AP/CPE like he suggested in his original post?
not trying to muddy the waters, but i think i would stink to have to setup pppoe servers at every client/hotspot router.
