[POC] Cisco vs Juniper running OSPF w/o Backbone Area 0

As everyone knows that OSPFv2 is a standard routing protocol (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2328.txt), but not all vendors device will implement it exactly the same. Especially when the network scenario was not follow the standard design, then it might have different exceptional behavior in different vendor devices.

In order to compare the difference behavior between Cisco and Juniper. I designed a special OSPF topology just like below, so we can see Cisco and Juniper have different result of routing exchange behavior.

Cisco IOS (GNS3)

When we are using Cisco device with IOS to simulate this topology:

  • R1 will not receive any routes. But if you check the R1 OSPF database, actually, you still see that LSA type 5 was received from R2, even R2 is not an ABR(because it has no backbone area 0).
  • R2 will learn all routes because it belong to both OSPF areas.
  • R3 will only learn all routes which was belong to area 2.

When we are using Juniper device with JUNOS to simulate the same topology:

  • R1 will receive all routes. Just like we still have OSPF backbone area 0.
  • R2 will learn all routes because it belong to both OSPF areas.
  • R3 will receive all routes. Just like we still have OSPF backbone area 0.
