OSPF Commands
This chapter describes commands used for the interior gateway protocol OSPF.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state protocol that distributes routing information 
between routers belonging to a single IP domain, also known as an autonomous system (AS). In 
a link-state routing protocol, each router maintains a database describing the topology of the 
autonomous system. Each participating router has an identical database maintained from the 
perspective of that router.
From the link-state database (LSDB), each router constructs a tree of shortest paths, using itself 
as the root. The shortest path tree provides the route to each destination in the autonomous 
system. When several equal-cost routes to a destination exist, traffic can distributed among 
them. The cost of a route is described by a single metric.
OSPF allows parts of a networks to be grouped together into areas. The topology within an area 
is hidden from the rest of the autonomous system. Hiding this information enables a significant 
reduction in link-state advertisement (LSA) traffic, and reduces the computations needed to 
maintain the LSDB. Routing within the area is determined only by the topology of the area.
The three types of routers defined by OSPF are as follows:
•     
Internal Router (IR)—An internal router has all of its interfaces within the same area.
•     
Area Border Router (ABR)—An ABR has interfaces belonging to two or more areas. It 
is responsible for exchanging summary advertisements with other ABRs.
•     
Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR)—An ASBR acts as a gateway between 
OSPF and other routing protocols, or other autonomous systems.
Each switch that is configured to run OSPF must have a unique router ID. It is recommended 
that you manually set the router ID of the switches participating in OSPF, instead of having the 
switch automatically choose its router ID based on the highest interface IP address. Not 
performing this configuration in larger, dynamic environments could result in an older LSDB 
remaining in use.
Note:  
Do not set the router ID to 0.0.0.0.
