CSS OSPF Configuration Quick Start

OSPF IP Interface Configuration Quick Start

To configure OSPF on a CSS IP interface, see the steps in Table 3-2. In the most basic IP interface configuration, you need to perform only steps 1 through 4, and step 7 to:

•Assign OSPF to the IP interface

•Associate OSPF with the globally defined area, if this is an area other than the backbone area (0.0.0.0)

•Enable OSPF on the interface

This configuration example assumes you will accept the default OSPF configuration settings for the interface, except the router priority. The interface OSPF configuration settings include:

•Intervals for the hello packet, LSA retransmission, and link-state update packet

•Authentication password

•CSS router priority

•Interface cost

For more information on configuring these OSPF IP interface settings, see the “Configuring OSPF on a CSS IP Interface”section.

Table 3-2 Configuration Quick Start for OSPF on a CSS Interface

Task and Command Example

1.Access global configuration mode. Enter:

# config

2.Access the circuit configuration mode for a preconfigured circuit on which you want to create the IP interface. For example, if circuit VLAN6 already exists, enter:

(config)# circuit VLAN6

(config-circuit[VLAN6])#

Note Refer to Chapter 1, Configuring Interfaces and Circuits for information on how to configure the CSS interfaces and circuits and the bridge interfaces to VLANs.
