OSPF Quick Steps

OSPF Quick Steps
The followings steps are designed to show the user the necessary set of commands for setting up a router
to use OSPF:
1 Create a VLAN using the
-> vlan 5
-> vlan 5 enable
2 Assign a router IP address and subnet mask to the VLAN using the
ple:
-> ip interface vlan-5 vlan 5 address 120.1.4.1 mask 255.0.0.0
3 Assign a port to the created VLANs using the vlan command. For example:
-> vlan 5 port default 2/1
Note. The port will be statically assigned to the VLAN, as a VLAN must have a physical port assigned to
it in order for the router port to function. However, the router could be set up in such a way that mobile
ports are dynamically assigned to VLANs using VLAN rules. See the chapter titled "Defining VLAN
Rules" in the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Guide.
4
Assign a router ID to the router using the
-> ip router router-id 1.1.1.1
5 Load and enable OSPF using the
-> ip load ospf
-> ip ospf status enable
6
Create a backbone to connect this router to others, and an area for the router's traffic, using the
area command. (Backbones are always labeled area 0.0.0.0.) For example:
-> ip ospf area 0.0.0.0
-> ip ospf area 0.0.0.1
7
Enable the backbone and area using the
-> ip ospf area 0.0.0.0 status enable
-> ip ospf area 0.0.0.1 status enable
8
Create an OSPF interface for each VLAN created in Step 1, using the
OSPF interface should use the same IP address or interface name used for the VLAN router IP created in
Step 2. For example:
-> ip ospf interface 120.1.4.1
or
-> ip ospf interface vlan-5
