Configuring OSPF

OSPF Nonstop Forwarding

The switch or switch stack supports two levels of nonstop forwarding (NSF):

OSPF NSF Awareness, page 38-28

OSPF NSF Capability, page 38-29

OSPF NSF Awareness

The IP-services feature set supports OSPF NSF awareness for IPv4. When the neighboring router is
NSF-capable, the Layer 3 switch continues to forward packets from the neighboring router during the
interval between the primary route processor in a router failure and the take-over of the backup route
processor, or while the primary route processor is manually reloaded for a nondisruptive software
upgrade.

This feature cannot be disabled. For more information on this feature, see the “OSPF Nonstop
Forwarding (NSF) Awareness” section of the Cisco IOS IP Routing Protocols Configuration Guide,
Release 12.4
