Configuring Nonstop Forwarding for OSPF Version 2
This task explains how to configure OSPF NSF on your NSF-capable router. This task is optional.
Prerequisites
OSPF NSF requires that all neighbor networking devices be NSF aware, which happens automatically
after you install the Cisco IOS XR image on the router. If an NSF-capable router discovers that it has
non-NSF-aware neighbors on a particular network segment, it disables NSF capabilities for that
segment. Other network segments composed entirely of NSF-capable or NSF-aware routers continue to
provide NSF capabilities.
See the “Nonstop Forwarding for OSPF Version 2” section on page RC-140 for conceptual information.
Restrictions
The following are restrictions when configuring nonstop forwarding:
• OSPF Cisco NSF for virtual links is not supported.
• Neighbors must be NSF aware.

2. router ospf process-name
3. router-id {ipv4-address | interface-type interface-instance}
4. nsf
