As you have learned in this
chapter, OSPF is a scaleable, standards-based link-state routing protocol.
OSPF's benefits include no hop count limitation, the capability to
multicast routing updates, faster convergence rates, and better path
selection. You learned the basic steps to configuring OSPF in a single
area: 1) establish router adjacencies, 2) select a designated router and a
backup designated router, 3) discover routes, 4) select appropriate routes
to use, and 5) maintain routing information.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to connect multiple OSPF areas
in order to support a larger hierarchical routing environment. It
discusses additional OSPF capabilities that you can configure, depending
on the size of your network.
