Router Types

Router types are attributes of the OSPF process.

A given physical router may be a part of one or more OSPF processes. For example, a router connected to more than one area, receiving routing from a border gateway protocol (BGP) process connected to another AS acts as both an area border router and an autonomous system router.

Each router has a unique ID, written in decimal format (A.B.C.D). You do not have to associate the router ID with a valid IP address. However, to make troubleshooting easier, Dell EMC Networking recommends that the router ID and the router’s IP address reflect each other.

The following example shows different router designations.
