OSPF Layer 2 MPLS
I'm putting together a full switch upgrade project for a client of mine.
They have 10 locations connected via a Layer 2 MPLS circuit.
The L2 MPLS is not segemented between the schools but is just a single vlan connecting all the locations together.
Each routing switch at each location has an IP address in a single /24 subnet.
Currently, routing is being done using EIGRP.
For the locations with chassis I'm recommedning the 5400r.
For the locations with a fixed port switch I'm recommedning the Procurve 3800 switch.
Routing would be migrated to OSPF.
I've been reviewing the Multicast & Routing guides and discovered that these do not support NBMA. I was also told by my HP SE that they also do not support P2MP. All the examples I've found are either just 2 switches connected via OSPF or multiple switches but a separate transit vlan between them. Basically all P2P examples.
The question that I can't find an answer for is what would happen if I setup OSPF with these devices? Would every switch discover every other switch and create a full mesh? While not optimal, this would work and basically mirror what they have now.
Thanks for any help!
