Going Deep on OSPF Route Filtering

On today’s episode we delve into OSPF filtering. That is, how to filter routes from a device’s routing table in an OSPF environment. This is a tricky business, because OSPF requires an identical database on every device in an OSPF area. And yet! There are times where you don’t want a route to show up in a specific OSPF router, or want to filter a route from an entire OSPF area. Is this possible? Are there stupid router tricks you can perform that might help you filter a route? Guest Mason Reimert takes us on a journey through OSPF route filtering. | LISTEN NOW
