Chapter 29 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring OSPF
Nonstop Forwarding Awareness
The OSPF NSF Awareness feature is supported for IPv4 in the metro IP access image. When the
neighboring router is NSF-capable, the Layer 3 switch continues to forward packets from the
neighboring router during the interval between the primary Route Processor (RP) in a router crashing
and the backup RP taking over, or while the primary RP is manually reloaded for a non-disruptive
software upgrade.
This feature cannot be disabled. For more information on this feature see the OSPF Nonstop Forwarding
(NSF) Awareness document at this URL:

Configuring Basic OSPF Parameters
Enabling OSPF requires that you create an OSPF routing process, specify the range of IP addresses to
be associated with the routing process, and assign area IDs to be associated with that range.
Log adjacency changes
Enabled.
Neighbor
None specified.
Neighbor database filter
Disabled. All outgoing LSAs are flooded to the neighbor.
Network area
Disabled.
NSF
