Configuring OSPF

OSPF Configuration Examples

Basic OSPF Configuration Example for Internal Router, ABR, and ASBRs

The following example illustrates the assignment of four area IDs to four IP address ranges. In the example, OSPF routing process 109 is initialized, and four OSPF areas are defined: 10.9.50.0, 2, 3, and

0.Areas 10.9.50.0, 2, and 3 mask specific address ranges, and area 0 enables OSPF for all other networks.

Each network area router configuration command is evaluated sequentially, so the order of these commands in the configuration is important. The Cisco IOS software sequentially evaluates the address/wildcard-mask pair for each interface. See the “OSPF Commands” chapter of the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 2 of 3: Routing Protocols publication for more information.

Consider the first network area command. Area ID 10.9.50.0 is configured for the interface on which subnet 131.108.20.0 is located. Assume that a match is determined for Ethernet interface 0. Ethernet interface 0 is attached to area 10.9.50.0 only.

The second network area command is evaluated next. For area 2, the same process is then applied to all interfaces (except Ethernet interface 0). Assume that a match is determined for interface Ethernet 1. OSPF is then enabled for that interface and Ethernet interface 1 is attached to area 2.

This process of attaching interfaces to OSPF areas continues for all network area commands. Note that the last network area command in this example is a special case. With this command, all available interfaces (not explicitly attached to another area) are attached to area 0.

Complex Internal Router, ABR, and ASBRs Example

The following example outlines a configuration for several routers within a single OSPF autonomous system. Figure 42 provides a general network map that illustrates this example configuration.
