Configuration Information

The interfaces must be in Layer 3 mode (assigned an IP address) and enabled so that they can send and

receive traffic. 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 configure 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.

You can perform the following tasks to configure Open Shortest Path First version 2 (OSPF for IPv4) on

the switch. Two of the tasks are mandatory; others are optional.

The following configuration tasks include two mandatory tasks and several optional tasks:

Enabling OSPFv2

Assigning a Router ID

Assigning an OSPFv2 Area

Enable OSPFv2 on Interfaces

Configuring Stub Areas

Enabling Passive Interfaces

Enabling Fast-Convergence

Changing OSPFv2 Parameters on Interfaces

Enabling OSPFv2 Authentication

Creating Filter Routes

Applying Prefix Lists

Redistributing Routes

Troubleshooting OSPFv2

Configure a physical interface. Assign an IP address, physical or Loopback, to the interface to enable

Layer 3 routing.

Enable OSPF globally. Assign network area and neighbors.

Add interfaces or configure other attributes.

Set the time interval between when the switch receives a topology change and starts a shortest path

first (SPF) calculation.

Use timers spf delay holdtime
