Configuring OSPF Router Parameters
To configure OSPF on the switch in the Router Configuration mode, perform
the following tasks:
1. Enable OSPF
2. Set the router ID
3. Create and configure OSPF area
4. Add interfaces to the area
5. If necessary, configure virtual links
6. Optionally, configure redistribution
7. Optionally, configure parameters at the global, area, and/or interface level
Enabling OSPF
OSPF is disabled by default on the switch.
To enable OSPF, enter the following command:
ProCurve(config)#router ospf <process ID>
You can only configure one process ID for OSPF.
Setting the Router ID
The router ID uniquely identifies the switch. To set the router ID to be used
by OSPF, enter the following command from Routing Configuration mode.
ProCurve(config-router)#ip router-id <IPaddr>
When setting the router ID, note the following conditions:
If you do not explicitly specify the router ID (using the ip router-id
■
command), then an ID is chosen implicitly by the switch. The address on
the loopback interface is the most preferred candidate for selection as the
router ID for the switch.
