You are implementing a directly connected routing plan using OSPF on an HPE Aruba Networking...

When configuring OSPF on a point-to-point network type (typically a direct link between two routers), OSPF treats the link as a broadcast-less point-to-point segment.

This reduces unnecessary OSPF overhead by eliminating the need for:

DR/BDR elections (which generate LSA Type 2 advertisements for broadcast multi-access networks).

Thus, changing network type to point-to-point reduces the number of LSA Type-2 advertisements, which are used to describe the network segment in multi-access environments.

No impact on number of routes (LSA Type-3 is about inter-area routes).

The default is usually broadcast or point-to-multipoint depending on interface.
