Configuring OSPF
• Modify OSPF Traps generated.
• Modify database overflow interval.
• Stub Router advertisement
• Set all the OSPFv2 interfaces to the passive state.
Interface parameters
The interface OSPF parameters are as follows:
• Assign interfaces to an area.
• Define the authentication key for the interface.
• Change the authentication-change interval
• Modify the cost for a link.
• Modify the dead interval.
• Modify MD5 authentication key parameters.
• Modify the priority of the interface.
• Modify the retransmit interval for the interface.
• Modify the transit delay of the interface.
NOTE
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…
Enable OSPF on the router
When you enable OSPF on the router, the protocol is automatically activated. To enable OSPF on
the router, use the following method.
Brocade(config)# router ospf
Brocade(config-ospf-router)#
This command launches you into the OSPF router level where you can assign areas and modify
OSPF global parameters.
Note regarding disabling OSPF
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.
The CLI displays a warning message such as the following.
Brocade(config-ospf-router)# no router ospf
router ospf mode now disabled. All ospf config data will be lost when writing to
flash!
If you have disabled the protocol but have not yet saved the configuration to the startup
configuration file and reloaded the software, you can restore the configuration information by
re-entering the router ospf command to enable the protocol. If you have already saved the
configuration to the startup configuration file and reloaded the software, the information is gone.
