To ensure equal intervals between the routers, manually set the dead interval of the Dell Force10 router to
match the Cisco configuration. Use the command “
ip ospf dead-interval <x> ” in interface mode:

Configuration Requirements
The interfaces must be in Layer-3 mode (assigned an IP address) and enabled so that they can send and
receive traffic. The OSPF process must know about these interfaces. To make the OSPF process aware of
these interfaces, they must be assigned to OSPF areas.
OSPF must be configured GLOBALLY on the system in CONFIGURATION mode.
OSPF features and functions are assigned to each router using the CONFIG-INTERFACE commands for
each interface.
