OSPF Notes – Message Types
I have had my nose deep in several books in preparation for my CCIE R&S written exam, so I haven’t been blogging much at all. Now that I’ve made it to the more familiar topics, I’m hoping to get some notes posted. I’ll start with OSPF message types.

A buddy asked for some help on configuring a pair of ASAs in active/passive mode, and, by pure coincidence, my newest project is to set up the same. I’ve done it many time, but it’s one of those things that…
