OSPF Configuration Help

Question

I am trying to configure OSPF on the Dell 6248 and Cisco 7206 router. OSPF is configured in order to do all VLAN routing on the switches and let the 7206 distributes the OSPF routes to the rest of the WAN. I have the VLANs created and the ip assigned to the VLANs. I also enabled routing on those VLANs and routing globally on the switches. However, I can't ping even the VLAN interface IPs on the same switch. When I do show ip ospf interface vlan 50, I get 'The IP interface is currently inactive.' message. When I do show ip route, I have no routes. Below is my configuration. Anything I missed?

Oh geez I haven't done OSPF in a little while, so I'm a bit rusty.  So you have RIP at the top, are you sure you need that?  What do you get with a 'show ip ospf' command?  I remember having to specify bandwidth for WAN links, I don't know if you need it for internal networks.

No, we don't need RIP. I thought I already disabled RIP.

We are trying to setup OSPF on these switches and let them handle all the VLAN routings that are on VMware environment. The Uplink routers are speaking EIGRP.

I just couldn't get OSPF to work on these Dell switches at all.

Thanks
