Before you begin
OSPF NSF requires that all neighbor networking devices be NSF aware, which happens automatically after
you install the Cisco IOS XR software image on the router. If an NSF-capable router discovers that it has
non-NSF-aware neighbors on a particular network segment, it disables NSF capabilities for that segment.
Other network segments composed entirely of NSF-capable or NSF-aware routers continue to provide NSF
capabilities.
The following are restrictions when configuring nonstop forwarding:
• OSPF Cisco NSF for virtual links is not supported.
• Neighbors must be NSF aware.

DETAILED STEPS
Purpose
Command or Action
configure
Step 1
Enables OSPF routing for the specified routing process and
places the router in router configuration mode.
router ospf process-name
Example:
Step 2
The
process-name
argument is any
alphanumeric string no longer than 40 characters.
Note
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router ospf 1
Configures a router ID for the OSPF process.
router-id
{
router-id
}
Step 3
Example:
We recommend using a stable IPv4 address as
the router ID.
Note
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# router-id
