An
OSPF interface definition contains specific operating parameters for a
Deep Edge OSPF-enabled interface. The
definition includes the interface name (for example, external or VLAN_1), priority,
and
timer settings for sending and receiving OSPF Hello and dead-interval packets.
You can enable OSPF on all Deep Edge interfaces with an IP
addresses that matches the OSPF-enabled network space. For example, define an area
of
0.0.0.0 and the OSPF network as
10.0.0.0/16. Then define vlan1 as
10.0.1.1/24, vlan2 as 10.0.2.1/24 and
vlan3 as 10.0.3.1/24. All three VLANs can run OSPF in area
0.0.0.0. To enable all interfaces, create an OSPF network
0.0.0.0/0
It is possible to configure different OSPF parameters for the same Deep Edge interface when more than one IP
address has been assigned to the interface. For example, the same Deep Edge interface could connect to two
neighbors through different subnets. You can configure an OSPF interface
definition containing one set of Hello and dead-interval parameters for compatibility
with one neighbor’s settings, and a second OSPF interface definition for the same
interface to ensure compatibility with the second neighbor’s settings.
