OSPF for VOSS (VSP7200) to connect Cisco router?

[jwumcp]

Dear all,

We are planning to deploy a VSP 7200 switch and this switch will be connected to a Cisco gateway router. This VSP switch will have multiple subnets/vlans and it will also be connected to multiple access level switches.

I literally have two questions.

1. This VSP has only default license on it. can it support OSPF?
2. if answer to Q1 is yes, can anyone provide some advice if there is anything I need to know before trying this? Especially I have never tried this between VSP and Cisco. I am relatively familiar with Cisco OSPF routing.

Thank you very much in advance.

For #2,  OSPF between VSPs and Cisco is something I have done countless times.   It will work. 

The only two questions I would have is    A- are the VSPs running in Fabric/SPBm mode? Because that will require an ISIS-to-OSPF redistribution.    B- is it just a point to point router interface between a single VSP and a single Cisco. Or is a cluster of VSPs and a cluster of Cisco switches?

Would you have a napkin diagram?

Here is a simple example of a VSP OSPF config.

OSPF is part of the base software license which is included with the hardware purchase.
