Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2)

Overview

The S6000 platform supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2) only. Up to 3 OSPF instances can be

run simultaneously on the S6000.

OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), which means that it distributes routing information

between routers in a single Autonomous System (AS). OSPF is also a link-state protocol in which all

routers contain forwarding tables derived from information about their links to their neighbors.

The symbols

s z under command headings indicate which Dell Networking — , S-Series

or Z-Series, respectively — support the command.
