Assigning an OSPF Area to the Interface
After you configure the IP interface as an OSPF interface, assign it to the area that
you globally configured to the CSS. The default area is the backbone area with the
ID of 0.0.0.0. If the area is other than the backbone, use the ospf area command
to assign the interface to an OSPF area. For example, if the area is 0.0.0.1, enter:
(config-circuit-ip[VLAN6-3.1.2.2])# ospf area 0.0.0.1
To reset the interface to the default backbone area, enter:
(config-circuit-ip[VLAN6-3.1.2.2])# no ospf area
Enabling OSPF on the Interface
If you need to configure the interface attributes as described in the “Configuring
the Interface Attributes” section, do not enable OSPF on the IP interface until you
finish configuring the attributes.
By default, OSPF is disabled on an IP interface. Use the ospf enable command to
enable OSPF on the IP interface. For example:
(config-circuit-ip[VLAN6-3.1.2.2])# ospf enable
To disable OSPF on the interface, enter:
(config-circuit-ip[VLAN6-3.1.2.2])# no ospf enable
Configuring the Interface Attributes
The OSPF interface attributes are set to a series of default values. You can elect
to use these values for the CSS IP interface or configure your own settings. This
section includes the following topics:
• Setting the Cost
• Setting the Dead Router Interval
• Setting the Hello Packet Interval
• Setting the Password
• Setting the Poll Interval
• Setting the Priority of the CSS
