Enable OSPF on an interface

The device must be configured for IP forwarding before configuring the interface for OSPF. Use the IP dialog box and the Edit Port OSPF tab to configure the interface.

To enable OSPF routing on a port:

1. Select the port.
2. Choose IP Routing > IP.

The IP dialog box opens, and the Globals tab is displayed.




Note: Use the OSPF tab -- Port to configure OSPF on a brouter port. To configure OSPF on a VLAN, use OSPF tab -- IP, VLAN . OSPF must be globally enabled before the configuration takes effect. The OSPF tab is not applicable unless the port or VLAN is routed; that is, it is assigned an IP address.

The Interface tab shows information about the OSPF interface configured on the router.

To open the Interface tab:

Choose IP Routing > OSPF > Interface.
