Configuration Information<br />

To configure OSPF, you may use commands in two modes: ROUTER OSPF and INTERFACE.<br />

Commands in the ROUTER OSPF mode configure OSPF globally, while commands executed in the<br />

INTERFACE mode configure OSPF features on that interface only.<br />

By default, OSPF is disabled.<br />

Configuration Task List for OSPF<br />

The following configuration steps include two mandatory steps and several optional ones:<br />

• enable OSPF globally on page 378 (mandatory)<br />

• enable OSPF on interfaces on page 379 (mandatory)<br />

• configure stub areas on page 382 (optional)<br />

the ROUTER OSPF mode, use the following command in the CONFIGURATION mode:<br />
