NOTE: When using CLI, you set global level parameters at the OSPF CONFIG Level of the CLI. To reach that
level, enter router ospf… at the global CONFIG Level. Interface parameters for OSPF are set at the interface
CONFIG Level using the CLI command, ip ospf…
When using the Web management interface, you set OSPF global parameters using the OSPF configuration
panel. All other parameters are accessed through links accessed from the OSPF configuration sheet.
Enable OSPF on the Router
When you enable OSPF on the router, the protocol is automatically activated. To enable OSPF on the router, use
one of the following methods:
USING THE CLI
BigIron(config)# router ospf
This command launches you into the OSPF router level where you can assign areas and modify OSPF global
parameters.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Select Enable next to OSPF.
3. Click the Apply button to save the change to the device’s running-config file.
4. Select the Save
link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.
