You can congure and save the following OSPF changes without resetting the system:
• All OSPF interface-related parameters (for example: area, hello timer, router dead time cost, priority, re-transmission time,
transit delay)
• All area parameters
• All area range parameters
• All virtual-link parameters
• All global parameters
• creation and deletion of an area, interface or virtual link
• Changes to address ranges
• Changes to global values for redistribution
• Addition of new virtual links
Conguring OSPF
1. Enable OSPF on the router.
2. Assign the areas to which the router will be attached.
3. Assign individual interfaces to the OSPF areas.
4.
Congure route map for route redistribution, if desired.
5. Enable redistribution, if desired.
6. Modify default global and port parameters as required.
7. Modify OSPF standard compliance, if desired.
Conguration rules
The conguration rules are as follows:
• Brocade ICX 6650 devices support a maximum of 676 OSPF interfaces.
• If a router is to operate as an ASBR, you must enable the ASBR capability at the system level.
• Redistribution must be enabled on routers congured to operate as ASBRs.
• All router ports must be assigned to one of the dened areas on an OSPF router. When a port is assigned to an area, all
corresponding subnets on that port are automatically included in the assignment.
OSPF parameters
You can modify or set the following global and interface OSPF parameters.
Global parameters
The global OSPF parameters are as follows:
• Modify OSPF standard compliance setting.
• Assign an area.
•
Dene an area range.
