Configuring OSPF on an Interface
Use this command to enable the OSPF protocol on a specified interface. The ROUTED daemon listens and sends OSPF messages on this interface only.
|
Note - Before you configure an OSPF interface, you must first run:
> set router-id <ip_address>.
For example, to configure OSPF on interface eth1-01 (IP 40.40.40.1), run:
> set router-id 40.40.40.1

To learn how to configure route injection to the OSPF table, search for Configuring RIM on Gaia in the R76 VPN Administration Guide.
