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 ???
