Conguration Information
The interfaces must be in Layer-3 mode (assigned an IP address) and enabled so that they can send and receive trac. The OSPF
process must know about these interfaces.
To make the OSPF process aware of these interfaces, they must be assigned to OSPF areas.
You must congure OSPF GLOBALLY on the system in CONFIGURATION mode.
NOTE: Loop back routes are not installed in the Route Table Manager (RTM) as non-active routes.
OSPF features and functions are assigned to each router using the CONFIG-INTERFACE commands for each interface.
NOTE: By default, OSPF is disabled.
Conguration Task List for OSPFv2 (OSPF for IPv4)
The following conguration tasks include two mandatory tasks and several optional tasks:
• Enabling OSPFv2 (mandatory)
• Assigning a Router ID
• Assigning an OSPFv2 Area (mandatory)
• Enable OSPFv2 on Interfaces
• Conguring Stub Areas
• Enabling Passive Interfaces
• Enabling Fast-Convergence
• Changing OSPFv2 Parameters on Interfaces
• Enabling OSPFv2 Authentication
• Creating Filter Routes
• Applying Prex Lists
• Redistributing Routes
• Troubleshooting OSPFv2
1. Congure a physical interface. Assign an IP address, physical or Loopback, to the interface to enable Layer 3 routing.
2. Enable OSPF globally. Assign network area and neighbors.
3. Add interfaces or congure other attributes.
4. Set the time interval between when the switch receives a topology change and starts a shortest path rst (SPF) calculation.
