Configuring OSPF on a VLAN
The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is the primary TCP/IP routing protocol. Routers use OSPF to exchange network topology information among themselves, giving each router a map of the network. By searching their maps, routers know how to move packets through the network to their destinations.
For OSPF configuration examples, refer to Networking Concepts for the Passport 8000 Series Switch. To reference OSPF configuration and management information about brouter ports, refer to Configuring Routing Operations for the Passport 8000 Series Switch Using Device Manager Release 5.1.x
To enable OSPF on a VLAN:
- From the Device Manager menu bar, choose VLAN > VLANs.
| The VLAN dialog box opens with the Basic tab displayed. |
- In the Basic tab, select a VLAN and click IP.
