Configuration Information
The interfaces must be in Layer-3 mode (assigned an IP address) and enabled so that they can send and
receive traffic. The OSPF process must know about these interfaces.
To make the OSPF process aware of these interfaces, they must be assigned to OSPF areas.
You must configure OSPF GLOBALLY on the system in CONFIGURATION mode.
OSPF features and functions are assigned to each router using the CONFIG-INTERFACE commands for
each interface.
NOTE: By default, OSPF is disabled.
