Configuring OSPF

Interface parameters:

Assign interfaces to an area.

Define the authentication key for the interface.

Change the authentication-change interval

Modify the cost for a link.

Modify the dead interval.

Modify MD5 authentication key parameters.

Modify the priority of the interface.

Modify the retransmit interval for the interface.

Modify the transit delay of the interface.

NOTE

When using the CLI, you set global level parameters at the OSPF CONFIG Level of the CLI. To reach
that level, enter router ospf… at the global CONFIG Level. Interface parameters for OSPF are set at
the interface CONFIG Level using the CLI command, ip ospf…

Enable OSPF on the router

When you enable OSPF on the router, the protocol is automatically activated. To enable OSPF on
the router, enter the following CLI command.

TurboIron(config)#router ospf

This command launches you into the OSPF router level where you can assign areas and modify
OSPF global parameters.

Note regarding disabling OSPF

If you disable OSPF, the Layer 3 Switch removes all the configuration information for the disabled
protocol from the running-config. Moreover, when you save the configuration to the startup-config
file after disabling one of these protocols, all the configuration information for the disabled protocol
is removed from the startup-config file.

NOTE

If you do not want to delete the OSPF configuration information, use the CLI command clear ip ospf
process instead of no router ospf. Refer to

“Resetting OSPF”

on page 616.

When you enter the no router ospf command, the CLI displays a warning message such as the
following.

TurboIron(config-ospf-router)#no router ospf

router ospf mode now disabled. All ospf config data will be lost when writing to

flash!

If you have disabled the protocol but have not yet saved the configuration to the startup-config file
and reloaded the software, you can restore the configuration information by re-entering the
command to enable the protocol (ex: router ospf). If you have already saved the configuration to
the startup-config file and reloaded the software, the information is gone.
