CSS OSPF Configuration Quick Start
OSPF IP Interface Configuration Quick Start
To configure OSPF on a CSS IP interface, see the steps in Table 3-2. In the most
basic IP interface configuration, you need to perform only steps 1 through 4, and
step 7 to:
• Assign OSPF to the IP interface
• Associate OSPF with the globally defined area, if this is an area other than
the backbone area (0.0.0.0)
• Enable OSPF on the interface
This configuration example assumes you will accept the default OSPF
configuration settings for the interface, except the router priority. The interface
OSPF configuration settings include:
• Intervals for the hello packet, LSA retransmission, and link-state update
packet
• Authentication password
• CSS router priority
• Interface cost
For more information on configuring these OSPF IP interface settings, see the
“Configuring OSPF on a CSS IP Interface”section.
Table 3-2 Configuration Quick Start for OSPF on a CSS Interface
Task and Command Example
1. Access global configuration mode. Enter:
# config
2. Access the circuit configuration mode for a preconfigured circuit on which
you want to create the IP interface. For example, if circuit VLAN6 already
exists, enter:
(config)# circuit VLAN6
(config-circuit[VLAN6])#
Note Refer to Chapter 1, Configuring Interfaces and Circuits for information
on how to configure the CSS interfaces and circuits and the bridge
interfaces to VLANs.
