Configuring NBMA interface neighbors
Configure NBMA neighbors so that the interface can participate in designated router election. All neighbors that you manually insert on the Neighbors tab are NBMA neighbors.
Before you begin
Enable OSPF globally.
Ensure that the interface uses an IP address.
Ensure that the interface type is NBMA.
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 .
- Click OSPF.
- Click the Neighbors tab.
- Click Insert.
- Enter the IP address and priority for the first neighbor.
- Click Insert.
- Add all required neighbors.
- Click Apply.

|
Priority |
Specifies the priority. |
|
State |
Specifies the OSPF interface state. |
|
Events |
Specifies the number of state changes or error events that occur between the OSPF router and the neighbor router. |
|
Retransmission Queue Length |
Specifies the number of elapsed seconds between advertising retransmissions of the same packet to a neighbor. |
