Cisco IOS XR Routing Configuration Guide
Step 4
timers throttle spf spf-start spf-hold
spf-max-wait
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# timers
throttle spf 10 4800 90000
Sets SPF throttling timers.
Step 5
area area-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# area 0
Enters area configuration mode and configures a backbone
area.
• The area-id argument can be entered in dotted-decimal
or IPv4 address notation, such as area 1000 or
area 0.0.3.232. However, you must choose one form or
the other for an area. We recommend using the IPv4
address notation.
Step 6
interface type instance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# interface
POS 0/1/0/3
Enters interface configuration mode and associates one or
more interfaces to the area.
Step 7
end
or
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar-if)# end
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar-if)# commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
– Entering yes saves configuration changes to the
running configuration file, exits the configuration
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
– Entering no exits the configuration session and
returns the router to EXEC mode without
committing the configuration changes.
– Entering cancel leaves the router in the current
configuration session without exiting or
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration
changes to the running configuration file and remain
within the configuration session.
Step 8
show ospf [ process-name ]
or
show ospfv3 [ process-name ]
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show ospf 1
or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# show ospfv3 2
(Optional) Displays SPF throttling timers.
