OSPF static neighbours

[GRANT3779]

Hi CSC, 

Not in a position to test this at the moment but been wondering if it is as simple as i believe... or not.

If i have multiple OSPF enabled devices on the same ethernet broadcast segment, can i use the neighbour statement to be selective about who become adjacent? I know with EIGRP i can do this. Is it possible within OSPF if i change the network type of the interfaces?

Hello

Yes you can -  By making the ospf peering non-broadcast network type which will negate multicast capability, thus you'll require the neighbour statement to establish the non DR/BDR peering

int x/x
ip ospf x area x
ip ospf network point-to-multipoint non-broadcast

router ospf X
neighbour  x.x.x.x
