Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2) | 367
To enable OSPFv2 routing, follow these steps.
To enable the OSPF process, return to CONFIGURATION mode. The OSPF process ID is the identifying
number assigned to the OSPF process and the Router ID is the IP address associated with the OSPF
process.
If you try to enter an OSPF process ID, or if you try to enable more OSPF processes than available Layer 3
interfaces, prior to assigning an IP address to an interface and setting the
no shutdown command, you will
see the following message.
In CONFIGURATION ROUTER OSPF mode, assign the router ID. The router ID is not required to be the
router’s IP address. Dell Force10 recommends using the IP address as the router ID for easier management
and troubleshooting.
To disable OSPF, use the
no router ospf process-id command in CONFIGURATION mode.
To reset the OSPFv2 process, use the
clear ip ospf process-id command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To view the current OSPFv2 status, use the
show ip ospf process-id command in EXEC mode (Figure 18-8).
