Enabling OSPF
The
router ospf
command, in Global Configuration mode, enables OSPF and accesses Router
OSPF Configuration mode. The
no
form of this command disables OSPF.
The prompt-line that is displayed in response to the command indicates that OSPF configuration
mode has been entered.
By default, the OSPF protocol is disabled.

Setting the OSPF Router ID
The
router-id
command and the
ospf router-id
command, in Router OSPF Configuration mode,
assign a fixed router-id IP address. The
no
form of the commands resets the OSPF router ID to the
lowest IP address of the networks assigned to the area.
Use this command when several networks are assigned to the same area.
