Description The new network parameter specifies the OSPF network type of the interface,
and is only valid for Ethernet or VLAN interfaces. Specify broadcast if you
want OSPF to treat the network as a broadcast network. Hello messages are
transmitted as broadcast messages, and neighbours are learned dynamically.
You can not configure static neighbours or use the pollinterval parameter to set
the time interval between hello messages to inactive neighbours. Specify
non-broadcast if you want OSPF to treat the network as an NBMA network.
All OSPF packets are transmitted as unicast messages, so neighbours must be
statically defined. You can use the pollinterval parameter to set the time
interval between hello messages to inactive neighbours. The default is
broadcast.
When you change the network type of an Ethernet or VLAN interface from
broadcast to non-broadcast:
■ All OSPF packets are sent as unicast messages, not broadcast messages, so
neighbours need to be statically configured.
■ Any existing dynamically learned neighbours are automatically converted
to static neighbours.
■ Hello messages are not transmitted until at least one static neighbour
exists.
When you change the network type of an Ethernet or VLAN interface from
non-broadcast to broadcast:
■ Any existing statically defined neighbours are cleared.
■ Hello messages are sent as broadcast messages, so neighbours are
dynamically learned.
