I´m not a dynamic routing expert, so maybe someone could help
me a bit.
Which routing protocol is available for
- Cisco´s
- Livingston Portmasters
- NT 4.0 Server
- Netware 3 and 4 Servers.
I´d like to use OSPF for our companies internal network but fear,
that NT doesn´t support this.
Our network will look like this in the near future:
Backbone Router (3com or such)
| | | | | | | |
4-6 100 MBit Segments
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| 4-6 10 MBit Segments
| | | +---------- Dial up network customers
| | +------------ Dial up network company
| +-------------- Internet Gateway Segment
+------ externel Network carrier
|
Cisco Router (2503)
|
Frame Relay (Network of external Carrier)
|
Cisco Router (2503)
|
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
| | | | | | | |
| | R-- Our ext. Office 1
| R----- Our ext. Office 2
| ...
R-----NT MPR--- Our ext. Office 3 with
+ + NT Server as Router
| |
| +---- LAN 1 in ext. Office 3
+------- LAN 2 in ext. Office 3
What dynamic Routing protocol would be best in this situation ?
If our Offices get subnets of their own, it would be fine not
having to deal with static routes. I´m sure, that a NT 4.0 Server
will become a router in the offices, to create 2 or 3 subnetworks.
So I think we have to use an interior routing protocol, that is
supported by most or all components.
- Should I use rip or OSPF ???
- Does NT Support OSPF ???
- What´s better, RIP or OSPF ???
- Any good source of information ???
Thanks in advance
