Global OSPF Configuration Quick Start
To perform the global OSPF configuration for the CSS, see the steps in Table 3-1.
In the most basic global configuration, where the CSS functions as a router in the
OSPF backbone area, you need to perform only steps 1 and 2 to:
• Define the CSS router ID
• Enable OSPF
Optionally, you can define the CSS:
• In an area other than the backbone, including a stub area.
• As an ABR, by configuring route summarization.
• As an ASBR, to advertise non-OSPF routes through OSPF, as AS-external
routes such as static and RIP routes. You could also advertise VIP addresses
for content as AS external routes.
After performing the global OSPF configuration, you must configure an OSPF IP
interface (see the “OSPF IP Interface Configuration Quick Start” section) before
the CSS can participate in OSPF routing. For more information on configuring
global OSPF parameters, see the “Configuring OSPF on the CSS” section.
