Cisco Systems 78-6897-01 manual Configuring the Routing Protocol

Configuring Tag Switching on an ATM Switch Router

Configuring the Routing Protocol

Enable the routing protocol (OSPF) on the ATM switch router so that it can create routing tables, which identify routes through the network. Then add the addresses and associated routing areas to the routing process so that it can propagate the addresses to other ATM switches and routers.

Take these steps:

Step Command

1Switch(config)# router ospf process_number

2Switch(config-router)# network address wildcard-maskarea area-id

3Switch(config-router)# exit Switch(config)#

1 TFTP = Trivial File Transfer Protocol

Purpose

Enable the routing protocol and assign it a process number. The process number is any positive integer.

Define the network prefix, a wildcard subnet mask, and the associated area number on which to run the routing protocol. An area number is an identification number for an address range.

Repeat this command for each additional area you want to add to the routing process.

Caution Ethernet interface 0 on the processor card (CPU card) is used for system management only (for example, downloading system images or configuration files from a TFTP1 server). Do not add this interface to the routing process.

Return to global configuration mode.
