Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2)

Overview

The MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module platform supports open shortest path first (OSPFv2) only. Up
to 16 OSPF instances can be run simultaneously on the MXL Switch.
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.

OSPFv2 Commands

The Dell Force10 implementation of OSPFv2 is based on IETF RFC 2328. The following commands
allow you to configure and enable OSPFv2.
