ip ospf network


Define the type of media for the interface.

Syntax: [no] ip ospf network {broadcast | non-broadcast | point-to-point}

broadcast

Networks supporting more than two attached routers, and having the ability to address a single physical message to all of the attached routers.

non-broadcast

Networks supporting more than two routers, but having no broadcast capability, such as Frame Relay. OSPF runs in one of two modes over non-broadcast networks; Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA) simulates the operation of OSPF on a broadcast network, and point-to-multipoint.

point-to-point

An interface that directly joins two routers.

Description: Use the ip ospf network broadcast command to configure OSPF run over broadcast media for this interface

Use the ip ospf network non-broadcast command to configure OSPF to run over NBMA or point-to-multipoint media for this interface.

Use the ip ospf network point-to-point command to configure OSPF to run over point-to-point media for this interface.

Use the no ip ospf network command to set the media type of the underlying interface.

Factory Default: Type inferred from the underlying interface.

Command Mode: Interface configuration.

Example: In the following example, the ip ospf network point-to-point command configures the interface to run OSPF over a point-to-point link, and the show ip ospf interface pos command displays the setting:

router(config)#router ospf 1

router(config-router)#network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

router(config-router)#interface pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-point

router(config-if)#end

router#show ip ospf interface pos 1/1/1

Net type: PointToPoint

State: P To P
