Step 8. Setting all router ids to zero¶

Goals¶

[explanation]

Configuration¶

This configuration is based on step 6.

# this also means that the Ethernet network will not be recognized by any routers. The OSPF configuration:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<OSPFASConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="OSPF.xsd">

  <Router name="R1" RFC1583Compatible="true">
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth0" />
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth1" routerPriority="0" />
  </Router>
  
  <Router name="R2" RFC1583Compatible="true">
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth0" />
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth1" routerPriority="0" />
  </Router>
  
  <Router name="R3" RFC1583Compatible="true">
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth0" routerPriority="0" />
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth1" />
  </Router>
  
  <Router name="R4" RFC1583Compatible="true">
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth0" routerPriority="0" />
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth1" />
  </Router>
  
  <Router name="R5" RFC1583Compatible="true">
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth0" routerPriority="0" />
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth1" />
  </Router>
  
  <Router name="R6" RFC1583Compatible="true">
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth0" routerPriority="0" />
    <BroadcastInterface ifName="eth1" />
  </Router>

</OSPFASConfig>

The configuration in omnetpp.ini is the following:

[Config Step8]
description = "Setting all router ids to zero"
extends = Step6

# when the router id of a multi-access interface is zero then no Wait timer is started.
# this means that no DR/BDR election will be performed and no Network LSA is exchanged.
# this also means that the Ethernet network will not be recognized by any routers.

*.R*.ospf.ospfConfig = xmldoc("ASConfig_zero_priority.xml")
