153| OSPFv2 DellPowerConnect W- Series ArubaOS 6.2 | User Guide
lThe defaultMTU value for a Layer 3 GRE tunnel in a Dell controller is 1100. When runningOSPF over a GRE
tunnelbetween a Dell controllerand another vendor’s router, the MTU valuesmust be the same on both sides
of the GRE tunnel.
lDo not enable OSPF on any uplink/WAN interfaceso n the BranchOffice Controller. Enable OSPF only on the
Layer 3 GRE tunnel connecting the master controller.
lUse only one physical port in the uplinkVLAN i nterfacethat i s connectingt o the upstreamrouter. This will
preventbroadcasti ngthe protocol PD Us to other ports and hence limit the numberof adjacencies on the uplink
interface to only one.
Understanding OSPFv 2 by Example usi ng a WLAN Scenario
In the WLAN scenario, the Dell co ntrolleracts as a default gateway for all the clients and talks to one or two (for
redundancy)upstream routers. The controlleradvertises all the user subnetaddresses as stub addresses via LSAs to
the routers..
NOTE:Totall y stubareas
see
onlya default route and routes local to the areas themselves.

WLAN Topo logy

The controller() is configured with VLAN 10 and VLAN 12 as user VLANs. These VLANs have clients on the
subnets andt heco ntrolleris the default router for those clients. VLAN 4 and VLAN 5 both have OSPF enabled.
These interfacesare connected to a upstream routers (Router 1 and Router 2). The OSPF interface cost on VLAN 4
is configured lowert hanV LAN 5. The IDs are:
lDell controller—40.1.1.1
lRouter 1—50.1.1.1
lRouter 2—60.1.1.1
Based on the cost of the uplinki nterface,default route from one of the upstream routersis i nstalledin the
forwardinginformation base (FIB) by the routing information base/route table manager(RI B/RTM) module.

WLAN Routing T able

View the controller routingtable using the show ip route command:
(host) #show ip route
Codes: C - connected, O - OSPF, R - RIP, S - static
M - mgmt, U - route usable, * - candidate default
Gateway of last resort is 4.1.1.2 to network 0.0.0.0
O* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 4.1.1.2*
C 4.1.1.0 is directly connected, VLAN4
C 5.1.1.0 is directly connected, VLAN5
C 10.1.1.0 is directly connected, VLAN10
C 12.1.1.0 is directly connected, VLAN12
Below is the routing table for Router 1:
(router1) #show ip route
Codes: C - connected, O - OSPF, R - RIP, S - static
M - mgmt, U - route usable, * - candidate default
