Configuring OSPF Interface
Selection Criteria
Slot/Port - Select the interface for which data is to be displayed or configured.
Configurable Data
OSPF Admin Mode* - You may select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. The default value is
'disable.' You can configure OSPF parameters without enabling OSPF Admin Mode, but they will have
no effect until you enable Admin Mode. The following information will be displayed only if the Admin
Mode is enabled: State, Designated Router, Backup Designated Router, Number of Link Events, LSA
Ack Interval, and Metric Cost. For OSPF to be fully functional, you must enter a valid IP Address and
Subnet Mask via the Interface IP Configuration page or through the CLI command: config ip interface
network .
*NOTE: once OSPF is initialized on the router, it will remain initialized until the router is reset.
OSPF Area ID - Enter the 32 bit integer in dotted decimal format that uniquely identifies the OSPF area
to which the selected router interface connects. If you assign an Area ID which does not exist, the area
will be created with default values.
Router Priority - Enter the OSPF priority for the selected interface. The priority of an interface is
specified as an integer from 0 to 255. The default is 1, which is the highest router priority. A value of '0'
indicates that the router is not eligible to become the designated router on this network
