Open Shortest Path First version 2 for IPv4 is supported on C-Series, E-Series, S-Series, Z-Series, and S4810 Dell Force10

platforms. Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) for IPv6 is supported on the C-Series, E-Series, Z-Series and

S4810 platforms.

NOTE: The C-Series supports OSPFv3 with FTOS version 7.8.1.0 and later.

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 fundamental mechanisms of OSPF (flooding, DR election, area support, SPF calculations, etc.) are the same for

OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. OSPFv3 runs on a per-link basis instead of on a per-IP-subnet basis.

This chapter is divided into 2 sections. There is no overlap between the two sets of commands. You cannot use an

OSPFv2 command in the IPv6 OSPFv3 mode.

OSPFv2 Commands

OSPFv3 Commands

NOTE: FTOS version 7.8.1.0 introduces Multi-Process OSPF on IPv4 (OSPFv2) only. It is not supported on OSPFv3

Note that the CLI now requires that the Process ID be included when entering the ROUTER-OSPF mode. Each

command entered applies to the specified OSPFv2 process only.

OSPFv2 Commands

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

and enable OSPFv2.

area default-cost

area virtual-link

clear ip ospf

clear ip ospf statistics

debug ip ospf

default-information originate
