If you change the OSPF config on the ABR, the ABR is still physically in the same network, so you'd still be able to get to the now-cut-off routers. You might not be able to telnet directly from your desktop, but you'll be able to telnet to something that can. It makes the job a Right Mess(tm) if you get the order wrong. I've done this with IGRP to EIGRP (a much simpler process); if you miss a device or get out of order, then there's going to be a string of connections to get back in there. (vty acl's must allow this!) | |

| Mar 17, 2022 at 16:47 | comment | added | Ron Trunk | I'm not sure you can generalize like that. You have to be sure that changing one router doesn't disconnect you from any unchanged routers. | |

From the outset, you would need to identify a central area, and work you way towards it. What area properties would help inform your decision on the ideal central area? | |
