7.2 OSPF router

To start OSPF process you have to specify the OSPF router. As of this writing, ospfd does not support multiple OSPF processes.

Command: router ospf {}

Command: no router ospf {}

Enable or disable the OSPF process. ospfd does not yet support multiple OSPF processes. So you can not specify an OSPF process number.

OSPF Command: ospf router-id a.b.c.d {}

OSPF Command: no ospf router-id {}

OSPF Command: ospf abr-type type {}

OSPF Command: no ospf abr-type type {}

type can be cisco|ibm|shortcut|standard

OSPF Command: ospf rfc1583compatibility {}

OSPF Command: no ospf rfc1583compatibility {}

OSPF Command: passive interface interface {}

OSPF Command: no passive interface interface {}

OSPF Command: timers spf <0-4294967295> <0-4294967295> {}

OSPF Command: no timers spf {}

OSPF Command: refresh group-limit <0-10000> {}

OSPF Command: refresh per-slice <0-10000> {}

OSPF Command: refresh age-diff <0-10000> {}

OSPF Command: auto-cost refrence-bandwidth <1-4294967> {}

OSPF Command: no auto-cost refrence-bandwidth {}

OSPF Command: network a.b.c.d/m area a.b.c.d {}

OSPF Command: network a.b.c.d/m area <0-4294967295> {}

OSPF Command: no network a.b.c.d/m area a.b.c.d {}

OSPF Command: no network a.b.c.d/m area <0-4294967295> {}

This command specifies the OSPF enabled interface. If the interface has an address of 10.0.0.1/8 then the command below provides network information to the ospf routers

router ospf network 10.0.0.0/8 area 0

the network command's mask length should be the same as the interface address's mask.
