Configuring OSPF on a CSS IP Interface

Configuring the CSS IP Interface as an OSPF Interface

An OSPF interface is an IP interface that you configure to send and receive OSPF traffic. To configure the CSS IP interface as an OSPF interface, use the ospf command.

Note You must enter the ospf command before the ospf enable command can take effect.

To configure the CSS IP interface as an OSPF interface:

1.Access the circuit configuration mode for the 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 bridge interfaces to VLANs.

2.Create the IP interface to the circuit. To create an IP address of 3.1.2.2, enter:

(config-circuit[VLAN6])# ip address 3.1.2.2/24 Create ip interface <3.1.2.2>, [y/n]:y

3.Configure this circuit as an OSPF circuit. Enter:

(config-circuit-ip[VLAN6-3.1.2.2])# ospf
