Changing an OSPF non-passive interface type

Change the interface type to designate the interface as either passive, NBMA, or broadcast.

Before you begin

  • Enable OSPF globally.

  • Ensure that the interface uses an IP address.

  • If the interface is currently an NBMA interface with manually configured neighbors, you must first delete all manually configured neighbors.

  • Change the VRF instance as required to configure OSPF on a specific VRF instance. The VRF must have an RP trigger of OSPF. Not all parameters are configurable on non-default VRFs.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
  2. Click OSPF.
  3. Click the Interfaces tab.
  4. To disable the interface, double-click the AdminStat cell, and then select disabled.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. To change the interface type, double-click the Type cell, and then choose the new interface type.
  7. Click Apply.
  8. To enable the interface, double-click the AdminStat cell, and then select enabled.
  9. Click Apply.
