OSPF Overview

OSPF is becoming the preferred IGP

protocol when compared with RIPv1 and
RIPv2 because it is scalable.

Configuring OSPF Loopback Address and
Router Priority

© 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 21

Setting OSPF Priority

The priorities can be set to any value from 0 to 255. A value

of 0 prevents that router from being elected. A router with
the highest OSPF priority will win the election for DR.

Verifying OSPF Configuration

• show ip protocol
• show ip route
• show ip ospf interface
• shop ip ospf
• show ip ospf neighbor detail
• show ip ospf database
