Configuring IP Routing
Domain Name Server (DNS) names for use in all OSPF show privileged EXEC command displays
•
make it easier to identify a router than displaying it by router ID or neighbor ID.
Default Metrics: OSPF calculates the OSPF metric for an interface according to the bandwidth of
•
the interface. The metric is calculated as ref-bw divided by bandwidth, where ref is 10 by default,
and bandwidth (bw) is determined by the bandwidth interface configuration command. For multiple
links with high bandwidth, you can specify a larger number to differentiate the cost on those links.
• Administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing information source, an integer
between 0 and 255, with a higher value meaning a lower trust rating. An administrative distance of
255 means that the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored. OSPF
uses three different administrative distances: routes within an area (interarea), routes to another area
(interarea), and routes from another routing domain learned through redistribution (external). You
can change any of the distance values.
Passive interfaces: Because interfaces between two devices on an Ethernet represent only one
•
network segment, to prevent OSPF from sending hello packets for the sending interface, you must
configure the sending device to be a passive interface. Both devices can identify each other through
the hello packet for the receiving interface.
• Route calculation timers: You can configure the delay time between when OSPF receives a topology
change and when it starts the shortest path first (SPF) calculation. You can also configure the hold
time between two SPF calculations.
Log neighbor changes: You can configure the router to send a syslog message when an OSPF
•
neighbor state changes, providing a high-level view of changes in the router.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure these OSPF parameters:
Command
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Step 2
Router(config)# router ospf process-id
Step 3
Router(config)# summary-address
address-mask
Step 4
area area-id virtual-link router-id
[hello-interval seconds ]
[retransmit-interval seconds ] [trans]
[[authentication-key key ] |
[message-digest-key key-id md5 key ]]
Step 5
Router(config)# default-information
originate [always] [metric
metric-value ] [metric-type type-value ]
[route-map map-name ]
Step 6
Router(config)# ip ospf name-lookup
Step 7
Router(config)# ip auto-cost
reference-bandwidth ref-bw
Step 8
Router(config)# distance ospf
{[inter-area dist1 ] | [inter-area
dist2 ] | [external dist3 ]}

Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enables OSPF routing, and enters router configuration
mode.
(Optional) Specifies an address and IP subnet mask for
redistributed routes so that only one summary route is
advertised.
(Optional) Establishes a virtual link and set its
parameters. See the "OSPF Interface Parameters"
section on page 10-13 for parameter definitions and
Table 10-2 on page 10-10
(Optional) Forces the ASBR to generate a default route
into the OSPF routing domain. Parameters are all
optional.
(Optional) Configures DNS name lookup. The default
is disabled.
(Optional) Specifies an address range for which a
single route will be advertised. Use this command only
with area border routers.
(Optional) Changes the OSPF distance values. The
default distance for each type of route is 110. The range
is 1 to 255.
