Chapter 29 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring OSPF
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable OSPF:
To terminate an OSPF routing process, use the no router ospf process-id global configuration command.
This example shows how to configure an OSPF routing process and assign it a process number of 109:
Switch(config)#
router ospf 109
Switch(config-router)#
network 131.108.0.0 255.255.255.0 area 24
Configuring OSPF Interfaces
You can use the ip ospf interface configuration commands to modify interface-specific OSPF
parameters. You are not required to modify any of these parameters, but some interface parameters (hello
interval, dead interval, and authentication key) must be consistent across all routers in an attached
network. If you modify these parameters, be sure all routers in the network have compatible values.
Note
The ip ospf interface configuration commands are all optional.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to modify OSPF interface parameters:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
router ospf process-id
Enable OSPF routing, and enter router configuration mode. The
process ID is an internally used identification parameter that is
locally assigned and can be any positive integer. Each OSPF
routing process has a unique value.
Step 3
network address wildcard-mask area area-id
Define an interface on which OSPF runs and the area ID for that
interface. You can use the wildcard-mask to use a single
command to define one or more multiple interfaces to be
associated with a specific OSPF area. The area ID can be a
decimal value or an IP address.
Step 4
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show ip protocols
Verify your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id
Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the Layer 3 interface
to configure.
Step 3
ip ospf cost
(Optional) Explicitly specify the cost of sending a packet on the
interface.
Step 4
ip ospf retransmit-interval seconds
(Optional) Specify the number of seconds between link state
advertisement transmissions. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds. The
default is 5 seconds.
