Chapter 3 Configuring Open Shortest Path First

CSS OSPF Configuration Quick Start

Table 3-1 Global OSPF Configuration Quick Start

Task and Command Example

1.Configure the area router ID for the CSS in global configuration mode. In this example, the CSS router ID is 121.23.21.1.

(config) ospf router-id 121.23.21.1

2.(Optional) If the CSS area is other than the backbone area, enter the area ID for the CSS. In this example, the area ID is 1.1.1.1.

(config) ospf area 1.1.1.1

The default ID is 0.0.0.0 for the backbone area. To define a stub area, enter the stub option after the area ID.

3.(Optional) If you want the CSS to advertise external routes, define the CSS as an AS boundary router. For example:

(config) ospf as-boundary

4.(Optional) If the CSS is an ABR, you can advertise VIP addresses for content as OSPF ASE routes. To advertise the VIP address 192.168.4.15 with a default cost of 1 and the default type of ASE type2, enter:

(config) ospf advertise 192.168.4.15 255.255.255.255

5.(Optional) To advertise routes other than OSPF, such as a firewall, local, RIP or static route, configure OSPF to redistribute routes from the specific protocol. To advertise static routes through OSPF with a default cost of 1 and default type of ASE type2, enter:

(config) ospf redistribute static

6.Enable OSPF on the CSS.

(config) ospf enable

The following running-configuration example shows the results of entering the commands in Table 3-1.
