Enable Multi-Process OSPF

Multi-process OSPF allows multiple OSPFv2 processes on a single router. The following list shows the
number of processes supported on each platform type.
• The MXL Switch supports up to 16 OSPFv2 processes.
When configuring a single OSPF process, follow the same steps described above. Repeat them as often as
necessary for the desired number of processes. After you create the process, all other configurations apply
as usual, To enable multi-process OSPF, follow these steps:
Step Command Syntax
1 ip address ip-address mask

To enable the OSPF process, return to CONFIGURATION mode. The OSPF process ID is the identifying
number assigned to the OSPF process. The Router ID is the IP address associated with the OSPF process.

message.
