• Troubleshooting OSPFv2
1 Configure a physical interface. Assign an IP address, physical or Loopback, to the interface to enable Layer 3 routing.
2 Enable OSPF globally. Assign network area and neighbors.
3 Add interfaces or configure other attributes.
4 Set the time interval between when the switch receives a topology change and starts a shortest path first (SPF) calculation.
Use
timers spf delay holdtime
NOTE: To set the interval time between the reception of topology changes and calculation of SPF in milli seconds, use
the
timers spf delay holdtime msec
command.
Example
Dell#
Dell#conf
Dell(conf)#router ospf 1
Dell(conf-router_ospf-1)#timer spf 2 5 msec
Dell(conf-router_ospf-1)#
Dell(conf-router_ospf-1)#show config
!
router ospf 1
timers spf 2 5 msec
Dell(conf-router_ospf-1)#
Dell(conf-router_ospf-1)#end

For a complete list of the OSPF commands, refer to the OSPF section in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide
document.
Enabling OSPFv2
To enable Layer 3 routing, assign an IP address to an interface (physical or Loopback). By default, OSPF, similar to all routing protocols, is
disabled.
You
must configure at least one interface for Layer 3 before enabling OSPFv2 globally.
If implementing multi-process OSPF, create an equal number of Layer 3 enabled interfaces and OSPF process IDs. For example, if you
create four OSPFv2 process IDs, you must have four interfaces with Layer 3 enabled.
1 Assign an IP address to an interface.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask
The format is A.B.C.D/M.
If you are using a Loopback interface, refer to Loopback Interfaces .
2 Enable the interface.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
3 Return to CONFIGURATION mode to enable the OSPFv2 process globally.
CONFIGURATION mode
router ospf process-id [vrf { vrf name }]
•
vrf name
: enter the keyword
VRF
and the instance name to tie the OSPF instance to the VRF. All network commands under this
OSPF instance are later tied to the VRF instance.
The range is from 0 to 65535.
