E nabling 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. From the graphical representation of the switch, select the port that you want to configure.
2. From the Device Manager window menu bar, choose IP Routing > IP.

The IP dialog box opens with the Globals tab displayed.

3. Select the Forwarding option.
4. Click Apply.
5. From the Device Manager window menu bar, choose Edit > Port.

The Port dialog box opens with the Interface tab displayed

6. Click the OSPF tab.

The OSPF tab opens.

7. In the OSPF tab, click Enable to select the OSPF enable option.



Note: Use the OSPF tab -- Port to configure OSPF on a routing port. To configure OSPF on a VLAN, use the 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.
