Perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi di sekolah menengah kejuruan meningkatkan kompleksitas jaringan komputer, sehingga dibutuhkan jaringan yang efisien dan andal. Penggunaan protokol Routing Information Protocol (RIP) yang masih diterapkan memiliki keterbatasan dalam skalabilitas dan kecepatan konvergensi, menyebabkan keterlambatan data dan kemacetan jaringan. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) hadir sebagai solusi dengan dukungan desain jaringan hierarki, metrik canggih, dan kemampuan menangani jaringan berskala besar. Penelitian ini menggunakan Cisco Packet Tracer untuk mensimulasikan penerapan OSPF di jaringan sekolah, sehingga dapat meningkatkan kinerja jaringan secara efektif dan efisien.

The development of information and communication technology in vocational high schools increases the complexity of computer networks, so that efficient and reliable networks are needed. The use of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) protocol which is still applied has limitations in scalability and convergence speed, causing data delays and network congestion. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is present as a solution with the support of hierarchical network design, advanced metrics, and the ability to handle large-scale networks. This study uses Cisco Packet Tracer to simulate the implementation of OSPF in school networks, so that it can improve network performance effectively and efficiently.
