8.3.2.41 ip ospf network
ip ospf network command to configure OSPF to treat an interface as a point-to-point rather than
broadcast interface. The broadcast option sets the OSPF network type to broadcast. The point-to-point
option sets the OSPF network type to point-to-point. OSPF treats interfaces as broadcast interfaces by
default. (Loopback interfaces have a special loopback network type, which cannot be changed.) When
there are only two routers on the network, OSPF can operate more efficiently by treating the network as
a point-to-point network. For point-to-point networks, OSPF does not elect a designated router or
generate a network link state advertisement (LSA). Both endpoints of the link must be configured to
operate in point-to-point mode..
no ip ospf network command to return the OSPF network type to the default.
Syntax
ip ospf network {broadcast|point-to-point}
no ip ospf network
Default Setting
Broadcast

8.3.2.42 ip ospf priority
ip ospf priority command sets the OSPF priority for the specified router interface. The priority of the
interface is a priority integer from 0 to 255. A value of 0 indicates that the router is not eligible to become
the designated router on this network.
no ip ospf priority command sets the default OSPF priority for
the specified router interface.
Syntax
ip ospf priority <0-255>
no ip ospf priority
Default Setting
1, which is the highest router priority

8.3.2.43 ip ospf retransmit-interval
ip ospf retransmit command sets the OSPF retransmit Interval for the specified interface. The
retransmit interval is specified in seconds. The value for <seconds> is the number of seconds between
