OSPF Commands

User Guidelines

OSPF is only enabled on an interface if the primary IPv4 address on the

interface matches a network area range. Any individual interface can only be

attached to a single area. If an interface address matches multiple network

area ranges, the interface is assigned to the area for the first matching range.

If the ip ospf area command is given for an interface, it overrides any

matching network area command.
OSPF only advertises IP subnets for secondary IP addresses if the secondary

address is within the range of a network area command for the same area as

the primary address on the same interface.
When a network area command is deleted, matching interfaces are

reevaluated against all remaining network area commands.

Example

The following example sets the number of paths at 2 that OSPF can report

for a given destination.

console(config-router)#maximum-paths 2

network area

The network area command enables OSPFv2 on an interface and sets its area

ID if the ip-address of an interface is covered by this network command. Use

the “no” form of this command to disable OSPFv2 on an interface.
