14.6.2

Configuring Interfaces for Point-to-Multipoint Networks

As in the case of NBMA networks, a list of neighboring routers reachable over a PMP network should be configured
so that the router can discover its neighbors.

To specify a reachable neighbor on a point-to-multipoint network, enter the following command in Configure mode:

14.6.3

Configuring Interfaces for Point-to-Point Networks

By default, OSPF packets are multicast to neighbors on an OSP point-to-point network. If an IP interface that is using
PPP is to be treated as an OSPF broadcast network, then use the

type broadcast

option of the

ospf add

interface

command. But if a remote neighbor does not support multicasting and you would like to unicast OSPF

packets, enter the following command in Configure mode:

14.7 CONFIGURING OSPF INTERFACE

PARAMETERS

The RS provides a number of parameters that are set at the interface level. To set OSPF interface parameters, enter the
following command in Configure mode:

This section describes parameters that are of special significance to interfaces. For information about parameters that
can be set globally, refer to

Section 14.9, "Configuring OSPF Parameters."

Specify an OSPF
point-to-multipoint neighbor.

ospf add pmp-neighbor

<IPaddr>

to-interface

<name-or-IPaddr>

Force point-to-point interfaces to
unicast OSPF packets.
