Configuring OSPF

26

1. Create an OSPF area on an interface, then enable NBMA on that interface.

BigIron RX(config)# int ve 20

BigIron RX(config-vif-20)# ip ospf area 0

BigIron RX(config-vif-20)# ip ospf network non-broadcast

BigIron RX(config-vif-20)# exit

Syntax: [no] ip ospf network non-broadcast

2. Then under the router OSPF level, specify the IP address of the neighbor in the OSPF

configuration. The non-broadcast interface configuration must be done on the OSPF routers on
both ends of the link.

For example, the following commands configure VE 20 as a non-broadcast interface.

The following commands specify 1.1.20.1 as an OSPF neighbor address. The address specified
must be in the same sub-net as a non-broadcast interface.

BigIron RX(config)# router ospf

BigIron RX(config-ospf-router)# neighbor 1.1.20.1

Syntax: neighbor <ip-address>

For example, to configure the feature in a network with three routers connected by a hub or switch,
each router must have the linking interface configured as a non-broadcast interface, and both of
the other routers must be specified as neighbors.

The output of the show ip ospf interface command has been enhanced to display information
about non-broadcast interfaces and neighbors that are configured in the same sub-net.

For example.

In the Type field, “non-broadcast” indicates that this is a non-broadcast interface. When the
interface type is non-broadcast, the Non-broadcast neighbor config field displays the neighbors
that are configured in the same sub-net. If no neighbors are configured in the same sub-net, a
message such as the following is displayed.

***Warning! no non-broadcast neighbor config in 1.1.100.1 255.255.255.0
