The following figure shows an OSPF sample network.
- Enable routing for the switch.
(Netgear Switch) #config
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip routing
- Enable routing and assign IPs for ports 1/0/2, 1/0/3, and 1/0/4.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#routing
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip address 192.150.2.2 255.255.255.0
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/3
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#routing
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#ip address 192.130.3.1 255.255.255.0
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/4
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#routing
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip address 192.64.4.1 255.255.255.0
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#exit
- Specify the router ID, and enable OSPF for the switch. Set disable 1583compatibility to prevent a routing loop.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#router ospf
(Netgear Switch) (Config router)#enable
(Netgear Switch) (Config router)#router-id 192.130.1.1
(Netgear Switch) (Config router)#no 1583compatibility
(Netgear Switch) (Config router)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
- Enable OSPF for the ports, and set the OSPF priority and cost for the ports.
(Netgear Switch) #config
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip ospf
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip ospf area 0.0.0.2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip ospf priority 128
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip ospf cost 32
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/3
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#ip ospf
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#ip ospf area 0.0.0.2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#ip ospf priority 255
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#ip ospf cost 64
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/3)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/4
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip ospf
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip ospf area 0.0.0.2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip ospf priority 255
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip ospf cost 64
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
