Title: How to configure OSPF?

Overview

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is an internal gateway routing protocol based on link status developed by the IETF OSPF work group. OSPF, a routing protocol specific for IP, directly runs on the IPlayer. Its protocol number is 89. OSPF packets are exchanged in multicast form using the multicast address 224.0.0.5 (for all OSPF routers) and 224.0.0.6 (for specified routers).

Note: we recommend that you can give priority to OSPF to build your network

I. Requirements

Use OSFP to build your network and every node in the network can communicate with each other.

II. Network Topology

III. Configuration Tips

1. Assign IP addresss to R1, R2 SW3 and SW4

2. Initialize OSPF process on all devices and define corresponding interfaces which OSPF runs and define the area ID for those interfaces.

3. (Optional) Modify network type on interfaces that have OSPF enabled

IV. Configuration Steps

1. Assign IP addresss to R1, R2 SW3 and SW4

Ruijie(config)#hostname R1

R1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/0

R1(config-GigabitEthernet 0/0)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

R1(config-GigabitEthernet 0/0)#exit

R1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/1

R1(config-GigabitEthernet 0/1)#ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

R1(config-GigabitEthernet 0/1)#exit

R1(config)#interface loopback 0 ----->configure IP address of Loopback 0 as OSPF Router-id

R1(config-if-Loopback 0)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

R1(config-if-Loopback 0)#exit

Ruijie(config)#hostname R2

R2(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0

R2(config-if-FastEthernet 0/0)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

R2(config-if-FastEthernet 0/0)#exit

R2(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1

R2(config-if-FastEthernet 0/1)#ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

R2(config-if-FastEthernet 0/1)#exit

R2(config)#interface loopback 0

R2(config-if-Loopback 0)#ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255

R2(config-if-Loopback 0)#exit

Ruijie(config)#hostname SW3

SW3(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 0/26

SW3(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/26)#no switchport

SW3(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/26)#ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0

SW3(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/26)#exit

SW3(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 0/25

SW3(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/25)#no switchport

SW3(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/25)#ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0

SW3(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/25)#exit

SW3(config)#interface loopback 0

SW3(config-if-Loopback 0)#ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255

SW3(config-if-Loopback 0)#exit

Ruijie(config)#hostname SW4

SW4(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/25

SW4(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/25)#no switchport

SW4(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/25)#ip address 192.168.3.2 255.255.255.0

SW4(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/25)#exit

SW4(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/1

SW4(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/1)#no switchport

SW4(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/1)#ip address 10.4.1.1 255.255.255.0

SW4(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/1)#exit

SW4(config)#interface loopback 0

SW4(config-if-Loopback 0)#ip address 4.4.4.4 255.255.255.255

SW4(config-if-Loopback 0)#exit

2. Initialize OSPF process on all devices and define corresponding interfaces which OSPF runs and define the area ID for those interfaces.

Note：

1) OSPF doesn't propagate process ID to neighbor, so process ID can be different in an OSPF area.

2) OSPF detects peer neighbor area ID in hello packet while establishing OSPF neighbor. OSPF area ID of OSPF neighbor must match.

R1(config)#router ospf 1 ----->enable OSPF globally , and process ID is 1

R1(config-router)#network 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1 ----->OSPF area 1 runs on interface 192.168.1.1

R1(config-router)#network 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1

R1(config-router)#exit

R2(config)#router ospf 1

R2(config-router)#network 192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 area 1

R2(config-router)#network 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

R2(config-router)#exit

SW3(config)#router ospf 1

SW3(config-router)#network 192.168.2.2 0.0.0.0 area 0

SW3(config-router)#network 192.168.3.1 0.0.0.0 area 2

SW3(config-router)#exit

SW4(config)#router ospf 1

SW4(config-router)#network 192.168.3.2 0.0.0.0 area 2

SW4(config-router)#network 10.4.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 2

SW4(config-router)#exit

3. (Optional) Modify network type on interfaces that have OSPF enabled

Note：By default, OSPF interface network type is broadcast in Ethernet and it costs about 40 seconds to elect DR/BDR. We recommend that you modify network type to point-to-point type in Ethernet to accelerate OSPF neighbor convergence.

R2(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1

R2(config-if-FastEthernet 0/1)#ip ospf network point-to-point ----->modify OSPF interface network type to point-to-point （you must configure both OSPF peers at the same time)

R2(config-if-FastEthernet 0/1)#exit

SW3(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/1

SW3(config-if-FastEthernet 0/1)#ip ospf network point-to-point

SW3(config-if-FastEthernet 0/1)#exit
