Chapter 22 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring OSPF
Note
The OSPF area router configuration commands are all optional.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure area parameters:
Use the no form of these commands to remove the configured parameter value or to return to the
default value.
These are examples of outputs from the show ip ospf database and show ip ospf privileged EXEC
commands:
Switch # show ip ospf database
OSPF Router with ID (172.20.135.202) (Process ID 1)
Router Link States (Area 1)
Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum Link count
172.20.135.202 172.20.135.202 455 0x80000009 0x83C2 1
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
router ospf process-id
Enable OSPF routing, and enter router configuration mode.
Step 3
area area-id authentication
(Optional) Allow password-based protection against unauthorized
access to the identified area. The identifier can be either a decimal
value or an IP address.
Step 4
area area-id authentication message-digest (Optional) Enable MD5 authentication on the area.
Step 5
area area-id stub [no-summary]
(Optional) Define an area as a stub area. The no-summary keyword
prevents an ABR from sending summary link advertisements into the
stub area.
Step 6
area area-id nssa [no-redistribution]
[default-information-originate]
[no-summary]
(Optional) Defines an area as a not-so-stubby-area. Every router
within the same area must agree that the area is NSSA. Select one of
these keywords:
•
no-redistribution—Select when the router is an NSSA ABR and
you want the redistribute command to import routes into normal
areas, but not into the NSSA.
•
default-information-originate—Select on an ABR to allow
importing type 7 LSAs into the NSSA.
•
no-redistribution—Select to not send summary LSAs into the
NSSA.
Step 7
area area-id range address mask
(Optional) Specify an address range for which a single route is
advertised. Use this command only with area border routers.
Step 8
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 9
show ip ospf [process-id]
show ip ospf [process-id [area-id]] database
Display information about the OSPF routing process in general or for
a specific process ID to verify configuration.
Display lists of information related to the OSPF database for a
specific router.
Step 10
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
