5.7 Configuring OSPF
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) designed expressly for IP networks. OSPF supports IP
OSPF works best in a hierarchical routing environment. The first and most important decision on OSPF network is to determine area border routers (routers connected to multiple areas), and autonomous system boundary routers. At a minimum,
To configure OSPF, complete the tasks in the following sections. After enabling OSPF, the other configuration tasks are optional.
5.7.1 Enable OSPF
As with other routing protocols, 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 of IP addresses. Perform the following tasks, starting in global configuration mode.
Command | Purpose | |
router ospf | Step 1 | Enable an OSPF routing process, which |
| places you in router configuration mode. | |
| Step 2 | Specify a routing process ID. A router ID is |

network | Step 3 | Define an interface on which to run OSPF |
and specify the area ID or IP address for that | ||
| interface. |
5.7.2 Configure ABR Type
The IC35516 OSPF conforms to the specifications in standard RFC2328. As there are a variety of implementations that support OSPF, the OSPF configuration depends on different type of routers. To configure OSPF on an Area Border Router (ABR), specify what type the router belongs to.
Command | Purpose |
Specify a router (ABR) type. | |
