Hello everyone,
I'm trying to convert my bridged network to routed.
I currently have one gateway to the internet and one radius server for accounting, and multiple access points on each tower.
I'm using access points as PPPoE servers to be as close as possible to end users.
I would like to keep this configuration in a routed environment, but I'm having some issues.
If I simply add access points to OSPF, and enable redistribute connected I have the area flooded by single /32 routes to clients.
I don't want that, since I'm using larger subnets for users.
It seems the only way to summarize is to have the PPPoE server as an Area Border Router, but I don't have all Access Points directly connected to backbone.
I thought to try anyway, and... it worked!
But:
1) Each access point is obviously seen as an Area Border Router by the router connected to it. Is that bad?
2) Each access point mantains a LSDB with the routes from the area. Is that bad?
I made a diagram to better explain what I did...
Do you think it's a good way or do you think it can cause issue in the future?
How can I achieve a better design?
Thank you
