Configuring OSPF Using the CLI

Establishing the OSPF Neighbor Relationship

To implement OSPF basic functions, enabling OSPF and establishing the OSPF neighbor relationship including can realize the interconnection of all the nodes in the OSPF network.

Configuring OSPF Areas

Large network scale results in huge LSDB, consuming much storage space and affecting network performance. You can configure OSPF to divide the AS to different areas to solve such a problem.

Controlling OSPF Routing Information

Changing OSPF routing policy through the configuration of routing information can meet the requirements in complicated networks. In addition, the advertising and receiving of OSPF routing information can be controlled and the routes of other protocols can be imported.

Configuring OSPF Route Selection

This section describes how to configure OSPF route selection.

Configuring OSPF Network Types

OSPF classifies networks into several types according to link-layer protocols. The network type should be correctly configured to prevent the fault that OSPF packets cannot be transmitted normally.

Optimizing OSPF Networks

In certain special network environments, you need to configure certain features of OSPF. The performance of OSPF networks needs to be optimized.

Improving OSPF Network Security

If an OSPF network requires high security, you can configure an OSPF authentication mode to improve network security.

Enhancing OSPF Network Reliability

Configuring OSPF GR and BFD for OSPF improves OSPF network convergence and enhances OSPF reliability.

Configuring the Network Management Function of OSPF

OSPF supports the network management function. You can bind the OSPF MIB to a certain OSPF process, and configure the trap function and log function.
