hi all,
i'm not used to enabling OSPF on an interface basis. i'm used to doing this via the old network command under the OSPF routing process.
my question is, how do we set the OSPF area on an interface if it's area 10 for example?
is it ip ospf 1 area 10.10.10.10 or 0.0.0.10? thanks in advance!
Router(config)#interface fast0/0
Router(config-if)#standby 1 ip 192.168.0.1
Router(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area ?
<0-4294967295> OSPF area ID as a decimal value
A.B.C.D OSPF area ID in IP address format
Router(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 0.0.0.0

Hey John there's nothing to get confused...
If you are doing with the ID then
ip ospf 1 area 10
if with the IP address format then
ip ospf 1 area 0.0.0.10
thanks
Hi John,
It will be as below
Router(config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 0
Hope that helps

hi najaf,
thanks for your reply! i know the command but don't know how to do it if it's area 10.
could i also use the decimal value of 10? what's the difference between a decimal value and an IP address notation as per the help output?
Hey John there's nothing to get confused...
If you are doing with the ID then
ip ospf 1 area 10
if with the IP address format then
ip ospf 1 area 0.0.0.10
thanks
Thanks, got it! Haven't been playing with OSPF for quite some time now.

Hey john,
Just get into the interface in which you are going to do ospf....then
Router(config)#interface fast0/0
Router(config-if)#ip ospf 1 area 10
this will work......
your (config-if)# ip ospf 1 area 0.0.0.0
is pointing toward area 0 so.....this is wrong configuration if your area is 10...
Dont forget to rate if its helpful
