NOTE
Brocade devices support numbered point-to-point networks, meaning the OSPF router must have an IP interface address
which uniquely identifies the router over the network. Brocade devices do not support unnumbered point-to-point networks.
The
broadcast
option configures the network type as a broadcast connection. This is the default option for Ethernet, VE and Loopback
interfaces.
The
non-broadcast
option configures the network type as a non-broadcast connection. This allows you to configure the interface to send
OSPF traffic to its neighbor as unicast packets rather than multicast packets. This can be useful in situations where multicast traffic is not
feasible (for example when a firewall does not allow multicast packets).
On a non-broadcast interface, the routers at either end of this interface must configure non-broadcast interface type and the neighbor IP
address. There is no restriction on the number of routers sharing a non-broadcast interface (for example, through a hub/switch).
To configure an OSPF interface as a non-broadcast interface, you enable the feature on a physical interface or a VE, following the
ip ospf
area
statement, and then specify the IP address of the neighbor in the OSPF configuration. The non-broadcast interface configuration
must be done on the OSPF routers at either end of the link.
For example, the following commands configure VE 20 as a non-broadcast interface.
device(config)# interface ve 20
device(config-vif-20)# ip address 10.1.20.4/24
device(config-vif-20)# ip ospf area 0
device(config-vif-20)# ip ospf network non-broadcast
The following commands specify 10.1.20.1 as an OSPF neighbor address. The address specified must be in the same sub-net as the
non-broadcast interface.
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# neighbor 10.1.20.1
For example, to configure the feature in a network with three routers connected by a hub or switch, each router must have the linking
interface configured as a non-broadcast interface, and the two other routers must be specified as neighbors.
Configuring OSPF Graceful Restart
OSPF Graceful Restart can be enabled in the following configurations:
•
Configuring OSPF Graceful Restart for the Global Instance
- In this configuration all OSPF neighbors other than those used
by VRFs are made subject to the Graceful Restart capability. The restart timer set globally does not apply to Graceful Restart on
a configured VRF.
•
Configuring OSPF Graceful Restart per VRF
- In this configuration all OSPF neighbors for the specified VRF are made
subject to the Graceful Restart capability. The restart timer set for a specific VRF only applies to that VRF.
Configuring OSPF Graceful Restart for the global instance
OSPF Graceful restart can be configured for the global instance or for a specified Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance.
Configuring OSPF Graceful restart for the global instance does not configure it for any VRFs. The following sections describe how to
enable the OSPF graceful restart feature for the global instance on a device.
Use the following command to enable the graceful restart feature for the global instance on a device.
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# graceful-restart
Syntax:
[no] graceful-restart
