Chapter 39 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring OSPF
To return to the default value, use the
no
timers lsa-group-pacing
router configuration command.
Configuring a Loopback Interface
OSPF uses the highest IP address configured on the interfaces as its router ID. If this interface is down
or removed, the OSPF process must recalculate a new router ID and resend all its routing information
through its interfaces. If a loopback interface is configured with an IP address, OSPF uses this IP address
as its router ID, even if other interfaces have higher IP addresses. Loopback interfaces never fail, which
provides greater stability. OSPF automatically prefers a loopback interface over other interfaces, and it
chooses the highest IP address among all loopback interfaces.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a loopback interface:
Use the
no interface loopback 0
global configuration command to disable the loopback interface.
Step 3
timers lsa-group-pacing
seconds
Change the group pacing of LSAs.
Step 4
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
