Managing OSPF neighbors

View or delete OSPF neighbors to control OSPF operations.

Before you begin

  • 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.

About this task

The OSPF Hello protocol initiates and maintains neighbor relationships. The exception is that, in an NBMA network, you must manually configure permanent neighbors on each router eligible to become the DR. You can add neighbors for NBMA interfaces, but all other neighbors are dynamically learned.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
  2. Click OSPF.
  3. Click the Neighbors tab.
  4. To delete a manually configured neighbor, select the neighbors with a value of permanent in the ospfNbmaNbrPermanence column.
  5. Click Delete.
  6. Click Apply.
