OSPFv2
******

:abbr:`OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)` version 2 is a routing protocol which
is described in :rfc:`2328`. OSPF is an :abbr:`IGP (Interior Gateway
Protocol)`. Compared with :abbr:`RIP`, :abbr:`OSPF` can provide scalable
network support and faster convergence times. OSPF is widely used in large
networks such as :abbr:`ISP (Internet Service Provider)` backbone and
enterprise networks.

.. include:: ospf_fundamentals.rst

.. _configuring-ospfd:

Configuring OSPF
================

*ospfd* accepts all :ref:`common-invocation-options`.

.. option:: -n, --instance

   Specify the instance number for this invocation of *ospfd*.

.. option:: -a, --apiserver

   Enable the OSPF API server. This is required to use ``ospfclient``.

*ospfd* must acquire interface information from *zebra* in order to function.
Therefore *zebra* must be running before invoking *ospfd*. Also, if *zebra* is
restarted then *ospfd* must be too.

Like other daemons, *ospfd* configuration is done in :abbr:`OSPF` specific
configuration file :file:`ospfd.conf` when the integrated config is not used.

.. _ospf-multi-instance:

Multi-instance Support
----------------------

OSPF supports multiple instances. Each instance is identified by a positive
nonzero integer that must be provided when adding configuration items specific
to that instance. Enabling instances is done with :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` in
the following manner:

::

   ...
   ospfd=yes
   ospfd_instances=1,5,6
   ...

The ``ospfd_instances`` variable controls which instances are started and what
their IDs are. In this example, after starting FRR you should see the following
processes:

.. code-block:: shell

   # ps -ef | grep "ospfd"
   frr      11816     1  0 17:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/frr/ospfd --daemon -A 127.0.0.1 -n 1
   frr      11822     1  0 17:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/frr/ospfd --daemon -A 127.0.0.1 -n 2
   frr      11828     1  0 17:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/frr/ospfd --daemon -A 127.0.0.1 -n 3


The instance number should be specified in the config when addressing a particular instance:

.. code-block:: frr

   router ospf 5
      ospf router-id 1.2.3.4
      area 0.0.0.0 authentication message-digest
      ...

.. _ospf-router:

Routers
-------

To start OSPF process you have to specify the OSPF router.

.. index:: router ospf [(1-65535)] vrf NAME
.. clicmd:: router ospf [(1-65535)] vrf NAME

.. index:: no router ospf [(1-65535)] vrf NAME
.. clicmd:: no router ospf [(1-65535)] vrf NAME

   Enable or disable the OSPF process.

.. index:: ospf router-id A.B.C.D
.. clicmd:: ospf router-id A.B.C.D

.. index:: no ospf router-id [A.B.C.D]
.. clicmd:: no ospf router-id [A.B.C.D]

   This sets the router-ID of the OSPF process. The router-ID may be an IP
   address of the router, but need not be - it can be any arbitrary 32bit
   number. However it MUST be unique within the entire OSPF domain to the OSPF
   speaker - bad things will happen if multiple OSPF speakers are configured
   with the same router-ID! If one is not specified then *ospfd* will obtain a
   router-ID automatically from *zebra*.

.. index:: ospf abr-type TYPE
.. clicmd:: ospf abr-type TYPE

.. index:: no ospf abr-type TYPE
.. clicmd:: no ospf abr-type TYPE

   `type` can be cisco|ibm|shortcut|standard. The "Cisco" and "IBM" types
   are equivalent.

   The OSPF standard for ABR behaviour does not allow an ABR to consider
   routes through non-backbone areas when its links to the backbone are
   down, even when there are other ABRs in attached non-backbone areas
   which still can reach the backbone - this restriction exists primarily
   to ensure routing-loops are avoided.

   With the "Cisco" or "IBM" ABR type, the default in this release of FRR, this
   restriction is lifted, allowing an ABR to consider summaries learned from
   other ABRs through non-backbone areas, and hence route via non-backbone
   areas as a last resort when, and only when, backbone links are down.

   Note that areas with fully-adjacent virtual-links are considered to be
   "transit capable" and can always be used to route backbone traffic, and
   hence are unaffected by this setting (:clicmd:`area A.B.C.D virtual-link A.B.C.D`).

   More information regarding the behaviour controlled by this command can
   be found in :rfc:`3509`, and :t:`draft-ietf-ospf-shortcut-abr-02.txt`.

   Quote: "Though the definition of the :abbr:`ABR (Area Border Router)`
   in the OSPF specification does not require a router with multiple
   attached areas to have a backbone connection, it is actually
   necessary to provide successful routing to the inter-area and
   external destinations. If this requirement is not met, all traffic
   destined for the areas not connected to such an ABR or out of the
   OSPF domain, is dropped. This document describes alternative ABR
   behaviors implemented in Cisco and IBM routers."

.. index:: ospf rfc1583compatibility
.. clicmd:: ospf rfc1583compatibility

.. index:: no ospf rfc1583compatibility
.. clicmd:: no ospf rfc1583compatibility

   :rfc:`2328`, the successor to :rfc:`1583`, suggests according
   to section G.2 (changes) in section 16.4 a change to the path
   preference algorithm that prevents possible routing loops that were
   possible in the old version of OSPFv2. More specifically it demands
   that inter-area paths and intra-area backbone path are now of equal preference
   but still both preferred to external paths.

   This command should NOT be set normally.

.. index:: log-adjacency-changes [detail]
.. clicmd:: log-adjacency-changes [detail]

.. index:: no log-adjacency-changes [detail]
.. clicmd:: no log-adjacency-changes [detail]

   Configures ospfd to log changes in adjacency. With the optional
   detail argument, all changes in adjacency status are shown. Without detail,
   only changes to full or regressions are shown.

.. index:: passive-interface INTERFACE
.. clicmd:: passive-interface INTERFACE

.. index:: no passive-interface INTERFACE
.. clicmd:: no passive-interface INTERFACE

   Do not speak OSPF interface on the
   given interface, but do advertise the interface as a stub link in the
   router-:abbr:`LSA (Link State Advertisement)` for this router. This
   allows one to advertise addresses on such connected interfaces without
   having to originate AS-External/Type-5 LSAs (which have global flooding
   scope) - as would occur if connected addresses were redistributed into
   OSPF (:ref:`redistribute-routes-to-ospf`). This is the only way to
   advertise non-OSPF links into stub areas.

.. index:: timers throttle spf DELAY INITIAL-HOLDTIME MAX-HOLDTIME
.. clicmd:: timers throttle spf DELAY INITIAL-HOLDTIME MAX-HOLDTIME

.. index:: no timers throttle spf
.. clicmd:: no timers throttle spf

   This command sets the initial `delay`, the `initial-holdtime`
   and the `maximum-holdtime` between when SPF is calculated and the
   event which triggered the calculation. The times are specified in
   milliseconds and must be in the range of 0 to 600000 milliseconds.

   The `delay` specifies the minimum amount of time to delay SPF
   calculation (hence it affects how long SPF calculation is delayed after
   an event which occurs outside of the holdtime of any previous SPF
   calculation, and also serves as a minimum holdtime).

   Consecutive SPF calculations will always be separated by at least
   'hold-time' milliseconds. The hold-time is adaptive and initially is
   set to the `initial-holdtime` configured with the above command.
   Events which occur within the holdtime of the previous SPF calculation
   will cause the holdtime to be increased by `initial-holdtime`, bounded
   by the `maximum-holdtime` configured with this command. If the adaptive
   hold-time elapses without any SPF-triggering event occurring then
   the current holdtime is reset to the `initial-holdtime`. The current
   holdtime can be viewed with :clicmd:`show ip ospf`, where it is expressed as
   a multiplier of the `initial-holdtime`.

   .. code-block:: frr

      router ospf
      timers throttle spf 200 400 10000


   In this example, the `delay` is set to 200ms, the initial holdtime is set to
   400ms and the `maximum holdtime` to 10s. Hence there will always be at least
   200ms between an event which requires SPF calculation and the actual SPF
   calculation. Further consecutive SPF calculations will always be separated
   by between 400ms to 10s, the hold-time increasing by 400ms each time an
   SPF-triggering event occurs within the hold-time of the previous SPF
   calculation.

   This command supersedes the *timers spf* command in previous FRR
   releases.

.. index:: max-metric router-lsa [on-startup|on-shutdown] (5-86400)
.. clicmd:: max-metric router-lsa [on-startup|on-shutdown] (5-86400)

.. index:: max-metric router-lsa administrative
.. clicmd:: max-metric router-lsa administrative

.. index:: no max-metric router-lsa [on-startup|on-shutdown|administrative]
.. clicmd:: no max-metric router-lsa [on-startup|on-shutdown|administrative]

   This enables :rfc:`3137` support, where the OSPF process describes its
   transit links in its router-LSA as having infinite distance so that other
   routers will avoid calculating transit paths through the router while still
   being able to reach networks through the router.

   This support may be enabled administratively (and indefinitely) or
   conditionally. Conditional enabling of max-metric router-lsas can be for a
   period of seconds after startup and/or for a period of seconds prior to
   shutdown.

   Enabling this for a period after startup allows OSPF to converge fully first
   without affecting any existing routes used by other routers, while still
   allowing any connected stub links and/or redistributed routes to be
   reachable. Enabling this for a period of time in advance of shutdown allows
   the router to gracefully excuse itself from the OSPF domain.

   Enabling this feature administratively allows for administrative
   intervention for whatever reason, for an indefinite period of time.  Note
   that if the configuration is written to file, this administrative form of
   the stub-router command will also be written to file. If *ospfd* is
   restarted later, the command will then take effect until manually
   deconfigured.

   Configured state of this feature as well as current status, such as the
   number of second remaining till on-startup or on-shutdown ends, can be
   viewed with the :clicmd:`show ip ospf` command.

.. index:: auto-cost reference-bandwidth (1-4294967)
.. clicmd:: auto-cost reference-bandwidth (1-4294967)

.. index:: no auto-cost reference-bandwidth
.. clicmd:: no auto-cost reference-bandwidth

   This sets the reference
   bandwidth for cost calculations, where this bandwidth is considered
   equivalent to an OSPF cost of 1, specified in Mbits/s. The default is
   100Mbit/s (i.e. a link of bandwidth 100Mbit/s or higher will have a
   cost of 1. Cost of lower bandwidth links will be scaled with reference
   to this cost).

   This configuration setting MUST be consistent across all routers within the
   OSPF domain.

.. index:: network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D
.. clicmd:: network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D

.. index:: network A.B.C.D/M area (0-4294967295)
.. clicmd:: network A.B.C.D/M area (0-4294967295)

.. index:: no network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D
.. clicmd:: no network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D

.. index:: no network A.B.C.D/M area (0-4294967295)
.. clicmd:: no network A.B.C.D/M area (0-4294967295)

   This command specifies the OSPF enabled interface(s). If the interface has
   an address from range 192.168.1.0/24 then the command below enables ospf
   on this interface so router can provide network information to the other
   ospf routers via this interface.

   .. code-block:: frr

      router ospf
      network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0

   Prefix length in interface must be equal or bigger (i.e. smaller network) than
   prefix length in network statement. For example statement above doesn't enable
   ospf on interface with address 192.168.1.1/23, but it does on interface with
   address 192.168.1.129/25.

   Note that the behavior when there is a peer address
   defined on an interface changed after release 0.99.7.
   Currently, if a peer prefix has been configured,
   then we test whether the prefix in the network command contains
   the destination prefix. Otherwise, we test whether the network command prefix
   contains the local address prefix of the interface.

   In some cases it may be more convenient to enable OSPF on a per
   interface/subnet basis (:clicmd:`ip ospf area AREA [ADDR]`).


.. _ospf-area:

Areas
-----

.. index:: area A.B.C.D range A.B.C.D/M
.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D range A.B.C.D/M

.. index:: area (0-4294967295) range A.B.C.D/M

.. index:: no area (0-4294967295) range A.B.C.D/M
.. clicmd:: no area (0-4294967295) range A.B.C.D/M

   Summarize intra area paths from specified area into one Type-3 summary-LSA
   announced to other areas. This command can be used only in ABR and ONLY
   router-LSAs (Type-1) and network-LSAs (Type-2) (i.e. LSAs with scope area) can
   be summarized. Type-5 AS-external-LSAs can't be summarized - their scope is AS.
   Summarizing Type-7 AS-external-LSAs isn't supported yet by FRR.

   .. code-block:: frr

      router ospf
       network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0
       network 10.0.0.0/8 area 0.0.0.10
       area 0.0.0.10 range 10.0.0.0/8


   With configuration above one Type-3 Summary-LSA with routing info 10.0.0.0/8 is
   announced into backbone area if area 0.0.0.10 contains at least one intra-area
   network (i.e. described with router or network LSA) from this range.

.. index:: area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX not-advertise
.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX not-advertise

.. index:: no area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX not-advertise
.. clicmd:: no area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX not-advertise

   Instead of summarizing intra area paths filter them - i.e. intra area paths from this
   range are not advertised into other areas.
   This command makes sense in ABR only.

.. index:: area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX substitute IPV4_PREFIX
.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX substitute IPV4_PREFIX

.. index:: no area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX substitute IPV4_PREFIX
.. clicmd:: no area A.B.C.D range IPV4_PREFIX substitute IPV4_PREFIX

   Substitute summarized prefix with another prefix.

   .. code-block:: frr

      router ospf
       network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0
       network 10.0.0.0/8 area 0.0.0.10
       area 0.0.0.10 range 10.0.0.0/8 substitute 11.0.0.0/8


   One Type-3 summary-LSA with routing info 11.0.0.0/8 is announced into backbone area if
   area 0.0.0.10 contains at least one intra-area network (i.e. described with router-LSA or
   network-LSA) from range 10.0.0.0/8.
   This command makes sense in ABR only.

.. clicmd:: no area A.B.C.D shortcut

.. index:: no area (0-4294967295) shortcut
.. clicmd:: no area (0-4294967295) shortcut

   Configure the area as Shortcut capable. See :rfc:`3509`. This requires
   that the 'abr-type' be set to 'shortcut'.

.. index:: area A.B.C.D stub

.. clicmd:: no area A.B.C.D stub

.. index:: no area (0-4294967295) stub
.. clicmd:: no area (0-4294967295) stub

   Configure the area to be a stub area. That is, an area where no router
   originates routes external to OSPF and hence an area where all external
   routes are via the ABR(s). Hence, ABRs for such an area do not need
   to pass AS-External LSAs (type-5s) or ASBR-Summary LSAs (type-4) into the
   area. They need only pass Network-Summary (type-3) LSAs into such an area,
   along with a default-route summary.

   Filter Type-3 summary-LSAs announced to other areas originated from intra-
   area paths from specified area.

   .. code-block:: frr

      router ospf
       network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0

      !
      access-list foo permit 10.10.0.0/16
      access-list foo deny any

   With example above any intra-area paths from area 0.0.0.10 and from range
   10.10.0.0/16 (for example 10.10.1.0/24 and 10.10.2.128/30) are announced into
   other areas as Type-3 summary-LSA's, but any others (for example 10.11.0.0/16
   or 10.128.30.16/30) aren't.

   This command is only relevant if the router is an ABR for the specified
   area.

.. index:: area (0-4294967295) authentication message-digest
.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) authentication message-digest

   Specify that OSPF packets must be authenticated with MD5 HMACs within the
   given area. Keying material must also be configured on a per-interface basis
   (:clicmd:`ip ospf message-digest-key`).

   MD5 authentication may also be configured on a per-interface basis
   (:clicmd:`ip ospf authentication message-digest`). Such per-interface
   settings will override any per-area authentication setting.

.. _ospf-interface:

Interfaces
----------

.. index:: ip ospf area AREA [ADDR]
.. clicmd:: ip ospf area AREA [ADDR]

.. index:: no ip ospf area [ADDR]
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf area [ADDR]

   Enable OSPF on the interface, optionally restricted to just the IP address
   given by `ADDR`, putting it in the `AREA` area. Per interface area settings
   take precedence to network commands
   (:clicmd:`network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D`).

   If you have a lot of interfaces, and/or a lot of subnets, then enabling OSPF
   via this command may result in a slight performance improvement.

.. index:: ip ospf authentication-key AUTH_KEY
.. clicmd:: ip ospf authentication-key AUTH_KEY

.. index:: no ip ospf authentication-key
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf authentication-key

   Set OSPF authentication key to a simple password. After setting `AUTH_KEY`,
   all OSPF packets are authenticated. `AUTH_KEY` has length up to 8 chars.

   Simple text password authentication is insecure and deprecated in favour of
   MD5 HMAC authentication.

.. index:: ip ospf authentication message-digest
.. clicmd:: ip ospf authentication message-digest

   Specify that MD5 HMAC authentication must be used on this interface. MD5
   keying material must also be configured. Overrides any authentication
   enabled on a per-area basis
   (:clicmd:`area A.B.C.D authentication message-digest`)

   Note that OSPF MD5 authentication requires that time never go backwards
   (correct time is NOT important, only that it never goes backwards), even
   across resets, if ospfd is to be able to promptly reestablish adjacencies
   with its neighbours after restarts/reboots. The host should have system time
   be set at boot from an external or non-volatile source (e.g. battery backed
   clock, NTP, etc.) or else the system clock should be periodically saved to
   non-volatile storage and restored at boot if MD5 authentication is to be
   expected to work reliably.

.. index:: ip ospf message-digest-key KEYID md5 KEY
.. clicmd:: ip ospf message-digest-key KEYID md5 KEY

.. index:: no ip ospf message-digest-key
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf message-digest-key

   Set OSPF authentication key to a cryptographic password. The cryptographic
   algorithm is MD5.

   KEYID identifies secret key used to create the message digest. This ID is
   part of the protocol and must be consistent across routers on a link.

   KEY is the actual message digest key, of up to 16 chars (larger strings will
   be truncated), and is associated with the given KEYID.

.. index:: ip ospf cost (1-65535)
.. clicmd:: ip ospf cost (1-65535)

.. index:: no ip ospf cost
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf cost

   Set link cost for the specified interface. The cost value is set to
   router-LSA's metric field and used for SPF calculation.

.. index:: ip ospf dead-interval (1-65535)
.. clicmd:: ip ospf dead-interval (1-65535)

.. clicmd:: ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier (2-20)

.. index:: no ip ospf dead-interval
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf dead-interval

   Set number of seconds for RouterDeadInterval timer value used for Wait Timer
   and Inactivity Timer. This value must be the same for all routers attached
   to a common network. The default value is 40 seconds.

   If 'minimal' is specified instead, then the dead-interval is set to 1 second
   and one must specify a hello-multiplier. The hello-multiplier specifies how
   many Hellos to send per second, from 2 (every 500ms) to 20 (every 50ms).
   Thus one can have 1s convergence time for OSPF. If this form is specified,
   then the hello-interval advertised in Hello packets is set to 0 and the
   hello-interval on received Hello packets is not checked, thus the
   hello-multiplier need NOT be the same across multiple routers on a common
   link.

.. index:: ip ospf hello-interval (1-65535)
.. clicmd:: ip ospf hello-interval (1-65535)

.. index:: no ip ospf hello-interval
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf hello-interval

   Set number of seconds for HelloInterval timer value. Setting this value,
   Hello packet will be sent every timer value seconds on the specified interface.
   This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network.
   The default value is 10 seconds.

   This command has no effect if
   :clicmd:`ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier (2-20)` is also
   specified for the interface.

.. clicmd:: no ip ospf priority

   Set RouterPriority integer value. The router with the highest priority will
   be more eligible to become Designated Router. Setting the value to 0, makes
   the router ineligible to become Designated Router. The default value is 1.

.. index:: ip ospf retransmit-interval (1-65535)
.. clicmd:: ip ospf retransmit-interval (1-65535)

.. index:: no ip ospf retransmit interval
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf retransmit interval

   Set number of seconds for RxmtInterval timer value. This value is used when
   retransmitting Database Description and Link State Request packets. The
   default value is 5 seconds.

.. index:: ip ospf transmit-delay
.. clicmd:: ip ospf transmit-delay

.. index:: no ip ospf transmit-delay
.. clicmd:: no ip ospf transmit-delay

   Set number of seconds for InfTransDelay value. LSAs' age should be
