The OSPF process ID is the identifying number assigned to the OSPF process. The router ID is the IP address associated with the
OSPF process.
After the OSPF process and the VRF are tied together, the OSPF process ID cannot be used again in the system.
If you try to enter an OSPF process ID, or if you try to enable more OSPF processes than available Layer 3 interfaces, prior to
assigning an IP address to an interface and setting the
no shutdown
command, the following message displays:
Dell(conf)#router ospf 1
% Error: No router ID available.
Assigning a Router ID
In CONFIGURATION ROUTER OSPF mode, assign the router ID.
The router ID is not required to be the router’s IP address. However, Dell Networking recommends using the IP address as the router ID for
easier management and troubleshooting. Optional
process-id
commands are also described.
• Assign the router ID for the OSPFv2 process.
CONFIG-ROUTER-OSPF-id mode
router-id ip address
• Disable OSPF.
CONFIGURATION mode
no router ospf process-id
• Reset the OSPFv2 process.
EXEC Privilege mode
clear ip ospf process-id
• View the current OSPFv2 status.
EXEC mode
show ip ospf process-id

Assigning an OSPFv2 Area
After you enable OSPFv2, assign the interface to an OSPF area. Set up OSPF areas and enable OSPFv2 on an interface with the
network
command.
You must have at least one AS area: Area 0. This is the backbone area. If your OSPF network contains more than one area, configure a
backbone area (Area ID 0.0.0.0). Any area besides Area 0 can have any number ID assigned to it.
The OSPFv2 process evaluates the
network
commands in the order they are configured. Assign the network address that is most explicit
first to include all subnets of that address. For example, if you assign the network address 10.0.0.0 /8, you cannot assign the network
address 10.1.0.0 /16 because it is already included in the first network address.
When configuring the network command, configure a network address and mask that is a superset of the IP subnet configured on the
Layer-3 interface for OSPFv2 to use.
You can assign the area in the following step by a number or with an IP interface address.
