Maximize your network bandwidth with OSPF Load Balancing! Learn how OSPF distributes traffic across multiple equal-cost paths and how to configure it on Cisco routers for the CCNA exam!
In this video, you'll learn:
- What OSPF load balancing is and how it works
- How OSPF uses Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) to distribute traffic
- How multiple equal-cost routes appear in the routing table
- The default maximum number of equal-cost paths in OSPF
- How to increase or decrease the maximum number of load-balanced paths
- How Cisco routers distribute traffic across multiple paths
- Unequal-cost load balancing — why OSPF doesn't support it
- How to verify OSPF load balancing with show commands
OSPF load balancing is a simple but powerful feature that lets you use all available bandwidth instead of leaving backup links idle. This video shows you exactly how to configure and verify it with hands-on Cisco examples.
