Configuration Task List for OSPFv2 (OSPF for IPv4)

You can perform the following tasks to configure Open Shortest Path First version 2 (OSPF for IPv4) on the switch. Two of the tasks are mandatory; others are optional.

  1. Configure a physical interface. Assign an IP address, physical or Loopback, to the interface to enable Layer 3 routing.
  2. Enable OSPF globally. Assign network area and neighbors.
  3. Add interfaces or configure other attributes.
  4. Set the time interval between when the switch receives a topology change and starts a shortest path first (SPF) calculation.
    Use timers spf delay holdtime
    NOTE To set the interval time between the reception of topology changes and calculation of SPF in milli seconds, use the timers spf delay holdtime msec command.

    Example

    DellEMC#
    DellEMC#conf
    DellEMC(conf)#router ospf 1
    DellEMC(conf-router_ospf-1)#timer spf 2 5 msec
    DellEMC(conf-router_ospf-1)#
    DellEMC(conf-router_ospf-1)#show config
    !
    router ospf 1
    timers spf 2 5 msec
    DellEMC(conf-router_ospf-1)#
    DellEMC(conf-router_ospf-1)#end
    DellEMC#
