Examples of Setting and Viewing a Dead Interval
In the following example, the dead interval is set at 4x the hello interval (shown in bold).
Dell(conf)#int tengigabitethernet 2/2/1
Dell(conf-if-te-2/2/1)#ip ospf hello-interval 20

Configuration Information
The interfaces must be in Layer-3 mode (assigned an IP address) and enabled so that they can send and
receive traffic. The OSPF process must know about these interfaces.
To make the OSPF process aware of these interfaces, they must be assigned to OSPF areas.
You must configure OSPF GLOBALLY on the system in CONFIGURATION mode.
NOTE: Loop back routes are not installed in the Route Table Manager (RTM) as non-active routes.
OSPF features and functions are assigned to each router using the CONFIG-INTERFACE commands for
each interface.
NOTE: By default, OSPF is disabled.
Configuration Task List for OSPFv2 (OSPF for IPv4)
The following configuration tasks include two mandatory tasks and several optional tasks:
• Enabling OSPFv2 (mandatory)
• Assigning a Router ID
• Assigning an OSPFv2 Area (mandatory)
• Enable OSPFv2 on Interfaces
• Configuring Stub Areas
• Enabling Passive Interfaces
• Enabling Fast-Convergence
• Changing OSPFv2 Parameters on Interfaces
