Layer 3 Routing Commands
1669
Example
The following example sets the number of paths at 2 that OSPF can report
for a given destination.
console(config-router)#maximum-paths 2
network area
The network area command enables OSPFv2 on an interface and sets its area
ID if the ip-address of an interface is covered by this network command. Use
the “no” form of this command to disable OSPFv2 on an interface.
Syntax
network ip-address wildcard-mask area area-id
no network ip-address wildcard-mask area area-id
• ip-address — Base IPv4 address of the network area.
• wildcard-mask — The network mask indicating the wildcard bit. A 1 bit in
the mask indicates a don’t care condition for the corresponding bit in the
address.
• area-id — The ID of the area (Range: IPv4 address or 32-bit decimal in the
range 0–4294967295).
Default Configuration
OSPFv2 is disabled
Command Mode
Router OSPF Configuration mode.
User Guidelines
OSPF is only enabled on an interface if the primary IPv4 address on the
interface matches a network area range. Any individual interface can only be
attached to a single area. If an interface address matches multiple network
area ranges, the interface is assigned to the area for the first matching range.
If the ip ospf area command is given for an interface, it overrides any
matching network area command.
