Chapter 9 Configuring IP Routing
Configuring OSPF
hostname(config-route-map)# set tag 1
hostname(config-route-map)# router ospf 2
hostname(config-router)# redistribute ospf 1 route-map 1-to-2
The following example shows the specified OSPF process routes being redistributed into OSPF
process 109. The OSPF metric is remapped to 100.
hostname(config)# router ospf 109
hostname(config-router)# redistribute ospf 108 metric 100 subnets
The following example shows route redistribution where the link-state cost is specified as 5 and the
metric type is set to external, indicating that it has lower priority than internal metrics.
hostname(config)# router ospf 1
hostname(config-router)# redistribute ospf 2 metric 5 metric-type external
Configuring OSPF Interface Parameters
You can alter some interface-specific OSPF parameters as necessary. You are not required to alter any
of these parameters, but the following interface parameters must be consistent across all routers in an
attached network: ospf hello-interval, ospf dead-interval, and ospf authentication-key. Be sure that if
you configure any of these parameters, the configurations for all routers on your network have
compatible values.
To configure OSPF interface parameters, perform the following steps:
Step 1 To enter the interface configuration mode, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# interface interface_name
Step 2 Enter any of the following commands:
• To specify the authentication type for an interface, enter the following command:
hostname(config-interface)# ospf authentication [message-digest | null]
• To assign a password to be used by neighboring OSPF routers on a network segment that is using
the OSPF simple password authentication, enter the following command:
hostname(config-interface)# ospf authentication-key key
The key can be any continuous string of characters up to 8 bytes in length.
The password created by this command is used as a key that is inserted directly into the OSPF header
when the security appliance software originates routing protocol packets. A separate password can
be assigned to each network on a per-interface basis. All neighboring routers on the same network
must have the same password to be able to exchange OSPF information.
• To explicitly specify the cost of sending a packet on an OSPF interface, enter the following
command:
hostname(config-interface)# ospf cost cost
The cost is an integer from 1 to 65535.
• To set the number of seconds that a device must wait before it declares a neighbor OSPF router down
because it has not received a hello packet, enter the following command:
hostname(config-interface)# ospf dead-interval seconds
The value must be the same for all nodes on the network.
