Enabling OSPF
Enable OSPF before you perform other OSPF configuration tasks.
Configuration prerequisites
Configure the link layer protocol and IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between
neighboring nodes.
Configuration guidelines
To enable OSPF on an interface, you can enable OSPF on the network where the interface resides or
directly enable OSPF on that interface. If you configure both, the latter takes precedence.
You can specify a global router ID, or specify a router ID when you create an OSPF process:
