Global OSPF Configuration Quick Start

To perform the global OSPF configuration for the CSS, see the steps in Table 3-1. In the most basic global configuration, where the CSS functions as a router in the OSPF backbone area, you need to perform only steps 1 and 2 to:

•Define the CSS router ID

•Enable OSPF

Optionally, you can define the CSS:

•In an area other than the backbone, including a stub area.

•As an ABR, by configuring route summarization.

•As an ASBR, to advertise non-OSPF routes through OSPF, as AS-external routes such as static and RIP routes. You could also advertise VIP addresses for content as AS external routes.

After performing the global OSPF configuration, you must configure an OSPF IP interface (see the “OSPF IP Interface Configuration Quick Start” section) before the CSS can participate in OSPF routing. For more information on configuring global OSPF parameters, see the “Configuring OSPF on the CSS” section.
