Change 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

In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
Select OSPF.
Select the Interfaces tab.
To disable the interface, double-click the AdminStat cell, and then select disabled.
Select Apply.
To change the interface type, double-click the Type cell, and then choose the new interface type.
Select Apply.
To enable the interface, double-click the AdminStat cell, and then select enabled.
Select Apply.
