21 Dell EMC Networking Layer 3 Leaf-Spine Deployment and Best Practices with OS10 | Version 1.0
Internal Use - Confidential
Configure the four point-to-point interfaces connected to leaf switches. Assign IP addresses per Table 1.
Configure a loopback interface to be used as the router ID. Enable OSPF on the interfaces with process 1
area 0.
Note: If multiple loopback interfaces exist on a system, the interface with the highest numbered IP address
is used as the router ID. This configuration only uses one loopback interface.
