OSPF Process Policy Page

OSPF is an interior gateway routing protocol that uses link states instead of

distance vectors for path selection. OSPF propagates link-state advertisements

(LSAs) instead of routing table updates, which enables OSPF networks to

converge quickly.

You can configure OSPF process policies from the following tabs on the OSPF

Process page:

•OSPF Process Page—Setup Tab, pageK-243

•OSPF Process Page—Area Tab, pageK-247

•OSPF Process Page—Redistribution Tab, pageK-249

For more information, see OSPF Routing on Cisco IOS Routers, page 15-192.

Note For more information about OSPF interface policies, see OSPF Interface Policy

Page, page K-236.

Navigation Path

•(Device view) Select Platform > Routing > OSPF Process from the Policy

selector.

•(Policy view) Select Router Platform > Routing > OSPF Process from the

Policy Type selector. Right-click OSPF Process to create a policy, or select

an existing policy from the Shared Policy selector.

Use the OSPF Process Setup tab to create, edit, and delete OSPF processes. This

includes selecting those interfaces that will remain passive, which means that they

will not send routing updates to their neighbors. You can create as many processes

for each router as required.
