RE: OSPF Demand Circuit

I think if you do not specify the broadcast keyword, the demand circuit
would not be able to form any ospf adjacencies anyway.
In this specific example, Cisco is denying ospf traffic as they dont want
ospf hellos to bring up the link. This is a special case in which the two
sites are only connected with the ISDN. Also they have a static route, on
the remote site, so that the intersting traffic "only" will be able to bring
up the link.

Normally if you are using ospf demand circuit and you deny ospf in the
intersting traffic, and there is a change in the ospf topolgy, ospf will try
to bring up the link, would fail and would bring down the neighborship on
the ISDN, even with the demand circuit configured.

Please correct me if I m wrong.

Hope it helps.

Hello,

AFAIK, the broadcast statement in the dialer map causes broadcasts to bring
up the link, hence you need an access list denying OSPF packets in the
dialer-list. Without the broadcast statement in the dialer map, you don4t
need the access list.

Regards,

Georg
