Performing basic OSPF configuration
To begin using OSPF on the router, perform these steps.

OSPF configuration rules
•
If a router is to operate as an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR), you must enable
the ASBR capability at the system level.
•
Redistribution must be enabled on routers configured to operate as ASBRs.
•
All router ports must be assigned to one of the defined areas on an OSPF router. When a port is
assigned to an area, all corresponding subnets on that port are automatically included in the
assignment.
Enabling and disabling OSPF on the router
When you enable OSPF on the router, the protocol is automatically activated and you can assign
areas and modify OSPF global parameters.
If you disable OSPF, the device removes all the configuration information for the disabled protocol
from the running configuration. Moreover, when you save the configuration to the startup
configuration file after disabling one of these protocols, all the configuration information for the
disabled protocol is removed from the startup configuration file.
If you are testing an OSPF configuration and are likely to disable and re-enable the protocol, you
might want to make a backup copy of the startup configuration file containing the protocol’s
configuration information. This way, if you remove the configuration information by saving the
configuration after disabling the protocol, you can restore the configuration by copying the backup
copy of the startup configuration file onto the flash memory.
