Enabling OSPF on an IP Interface
You can create an OSPF interface using either the Web Agent or the CLI
after you setup a VLAN and create an IP interface.
Web Agent
Procedure After you have set up a VLAN, you must create the IP interface that your
VLAN and your subnet will use to communicate. While creating the IP
interface, you must assign it to the VLAN. The last step is to enable IP
forwarding (Routing) global parameters.
To enable OSPF on the IP interface:
1. Administratively bring down the IP interface. Select the down arrow
from the Admin. State field and select DOWN.
*Note: You must bring the IP interface Down to successfully
enable OSPF on the IP interface. If you do not, you will
get an error message and OSPF will not be enabled.
2. Select the down arrow from the OSPF field.
3. Select Enable.
4. Administratively bring the IP interface UP.
