DELL S50V User Manual

Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3) | 707

Multi-Process OSPF allows multiple OSPFv2 processes on a single router. The following list shows the 
number of processes supported on each platform type.

•

The E-Series supports up to 30 OSPFv2 processes.

•

The C-Series supports up to 6 OSPFv2 processes.

•

The S-Series supports up to 4 OSPFv2 processes.

Follow the same steps as above, when configuring a single OSPF process. Repeat them as often as 
necessary for the desired number of processes. Once the process is created, all other configurations apply 
as usual,

Return to CONFIGURATION mode to enable the OSPF process. The OSPF Process ID is the identifying 
number assigned to the OSPF process, and the Router ID is the IP address associated with the OSPF 
process. .

Once the OSPF process and the VRF are tied together, the OSPF Process ID cannot be used again in the 
system. 

If you try to enable more OSPF processes than available Layer 3 interfaces you will see the following 
message.
