OSPF Commands

This command has no user guidelines.

The following example disables OSPF MTU mismatch detection on VLAN 

interface 15.

console(config-if-vlan15)#ip ospf mtu-ignore

Use the ip ospf network command to configure OSPF to treat an interface as 

a point-to-point rather than broadcast interface. To return to the default 

value, use the no form of this command.

ip ospf network { 

broadcast | point-to-point }

•

broadcast — Set the network type to broadcast.

•

point-to-point — Set the network type to point-to-point

Interfaces operate in broadcast mode by default.

Interface Configuration (VLAN) mode.

OSPF treats interfaces as broadcast interfaces by default. Loopback interfaces 

have a special loopback network type, which cannot be changed. When there 

are only two routers on the network, OSPF can operate more efficiently by 

treating the network as a point-to-point network. For point-to-point 

networks, OSPF does not elect a designated router or generate a network link 

state advertisement (LSA). Both endpoints of the link must be configured to 

operate in point-to-point mode.
