OSPF is a routing protocol that uses areas to share routing information between routers. It requires configuring the OSPF process on each router using the router ospf command, identifying the networks that will participate in OSPF routing using the network command, and specifying the area number which must match between routers. The key OSPF commands are router ospf to enter OSPF configuration mode, network to identify participating networks along with the area number, and router-id to configure the router ID.

OSPF Command List
OSPF is fairly simple, with only a few variations from the RIP and IGRP configuration steps you have previously use. Configuration is as simple as defining the OSPF process using the router ospf command, and then identifying the networks that will participate in OSPF routing. The following table lists the commands and details for configuring OSPF.
Command Purpose Use to enter configuration mode for OSPF. Router(config)#router The process ID identifies a separate routing process on the router. Note: ospf process-id Process IDs do not need to match between routers (in other words, two routers configured with different process IDs might still share OSPF information). Identifies networks that participate in OSPF routing. Router(config-router) a.b.c.d is the network address. This can be a subnetted, classless network. #network a.b.c.d w.w.w.w w.w.w.w is the wildcard mask. The wildcard mask identifies the subnet area number address. number is the area number in the OSPF topology. The area number must match between routers.
Router(config-router) Configures the router ID for the OSPF process.
#router-id a.b.c.d The router ID is used to identify the DR/BDR if two routers have matching priority values. Sets the OSPF priority number for an interface. Router(config)#interface The priority number is used in the DR/BDR election process. The router with ethernet0/1 the highest priority becomes the DR. Router(config-if)#ip ospf Configure a value of 0 to ensure that a router never becomes the DR or priority <0-255> BDR. Note: The priority is set on an interface, and applies to the DR/BDR election process on that interface. Router(config)#interface loopback0 Sets an IP address for a loopback interface. Router(config-if)#ip The IP address is used as the router ID and is used to determine the DR and BDR if two routers have the same priority value. address a.b.c.d m.m.m.m
Example The following graphic shows a sample network with two OSPF areas.

Use the following commands to configure OSPF on each router:
Router Configuration router ospf 1 network 10.1.0.0 0.0.15.255 area 0 SFO network 10.1.16.0 0.0.15.255 area 1 network 10.1.32.0 0.0.15.255 area 1 router ospf 2 LAX network 10.1.16.1 0.0.0.0 area 1 network 10.2.0.1 0.0.0.0 area 1 router ospf 1 PHX network 10.1.32.0 0.0.15.255 area 1 network 10.3.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 1
Notice the following in the configuration:
The process ID on each router does not have to match. OSPF uses areas to identify sharing of routes, not the process ID. You can use the subnet address with the appropriate wildcard mask (as in 10.1.16.0 0.0.15.255), or you can use the IP address of the router interface with a mask of 0.0.0.0. The network command identifies the subnet, wildcard mask, and the OSPF area of the subnet. A subnet can only be in one area.
