config ethernet <ports> ip ospf Commands
The port-based OSPF commands set OSPF parameters for a specific port. The
parameter <ports> specifies the ports for which you are entering the command in
the form portlist {slot/port[-slot/port][, ...]}.
The
config ethernet <ports> ip ospf commands use the following syntax
and parameters:
config ethernet <ports> ip ospf
followed by:
info Displays OSPF characteristics on the port.
advertise-when-down
<enable|disable>
If enabled, the network on this interface is
advertised as up, even if the port is down.
The default is disabled.
Note: When you configure a port without any
link and enable advertise-when-down, the
route is not advertised until the port is active.
Then the route is advertised even when the
link is down. To disable advertising based on
link status, this parameter should be
disabled.
area <ipaddr> Sets the OSPF identification number for the
area, typically formatted as an IP address.

(OSPF interface).

authentication-type <auth-type> Sets the OSPF authentication type for the
port: none, simple password, or MD5
authentication. If simple, all OSPF updates
received by the interface must contain the
authentication key specified by the
area
authentication-key
command. If MD5, they
must contain the md5 key.
disable Disables OSPF on the port.
