2b..route OSPF2b Config

The document discusses configuring OSPF routing. It explains that OSPF configuration involves using the router ospf command to enter OSPF configuration mode and the network command to define the interfaces and areas. It also describes how the OSPF router ID is selected and recommends using a loopback interface or router-id command for stability. Various show commands are provided to verify OSPF configuration and operation.

Configuring OSPF

Configuring OSPF Routing


Configuring Basic OSPF

Router(config)#
router ospf process-id
• Enables one or more OSPF routing processes

Router(config-router)#
network ip-address wildcard-mask area area-id

• Defines the interfaces that OSPF will run on

Router(config-if)#
ip ospf process-id area area-id [secondaries none]

• Optional method to enable OSPF explicitly on an interface


Configuring OSPF on Internal Routers of a
Single Area
Configuring OSPF for Multiple Areas
OSPF Router ID

• The router is known to OSPF by the OSPF router ID number.


• LSDBs use the OSPF router ID to differentiate one router from the
next.
• By default, the router ID is the highest IP address on an active
interface at the moment of OSPF process startup.
• A loopback interface can override the OSPF router ID. If a loopback
interface exists, the router ID is the highest IP address on any active
loopback interface.
• The OSPF router-id command can be used to override the OSPF
router ID.
• Using a loopback interface or a router-id command is recommended
for stability.
Loopback Interfaces

Router(config)#interface loopback 0
Router(config-if)#ip address 172.16.17.5 255.255.255.255

• If the OSPF process is already running, the router must be


reloaded or the OSPF process must be removed and
reconfigured before the new loopback address will take effect.
OSPF router-id Command
Router(config-router)#
router-id ip-address

• This command is configured under the router ospf [process-id]


command.
• Any unique arbitrary 32-bit value in an IP address format
(dotted decimal) can be used.
• If this command is used on an OSPF process that is already
active, then the new router ID is used after the next reload or
manual OSPF process restart using:
Router#
clear ip ospf process

Router(config)#router ospf 1
Router(config-router)#router-id 172.16.1.1

Router#clear ip ospf process


OSPF Router ID Verification

RouterB#sh ip ospf

Verifying OSPF Operation

Router#
show ip protocols
• Verifies the configured IP routing protocol processes,
parameters, and statistics

Router#
show ip route ospf [process-id ]

• Displays all OSPF routes learned by the router

Router#
show ip ospf interface [type number]

• Displays the OSPF router ID, area ID, and adjacency information
Verifying OSPF Operation (Cont.)

Router#
show ip ospf

• Displays the OSPF router ID, timers, and statistics

Router#

show ip ospf neighbor [detail]

• Displays information about the OSPF neighbors, including DR


and BDR information on broadcast networks
Example: The show ip route ospf Command

RouterA#show ip route ospf


10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks
O 10.2.1.0/24 [110/782] via 10.64.0.2, 00:03:05, FastEthernet0/0

Summary

• Configuration of OSPF is a two-step process:


– Enter OSPF configuration with the router ospf command.
– Use the network command to describe which interfaces will run OSPF in
which area.
• OSPF selects a router ID at startup time:
– The router ID’s specified in the router-id command under the OSPF
process.
– Otherwise, the highest IP address of a loopback interface, if there are
any, is used.
– By default, the highest IP address of all active interfaces
• Use the show ip ospf command to verify the router ID.
• Use the show ip protocols, show ip route ospf, show ip ospf interface, show ip
ospf, and show ip ospf neighbor commands to verify OSPF operation.
