Example for Configuring Basic OSPF Functions

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, three switches on a network need to communicate with each other, and the entire network needs to be extended based on SwitchA and SwitchB as the service devices.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring basic OSPF functions

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure VLANs for interfaces, VLANIF interfaces for the VLANs, and IP addresses for each VLANIF interface to implement communication within network segments.
Configure basic OSPF functions on each switch. Configure SwitchA as the ABR to partition the OSPF network into two areas (Area0 and Area1) so that the entire OSPF network can be extended using the area where SwitchA and SwitchB are located as the backbone area.

Procedure

Configure VLANs for interfaces.

# Configure SwitchA. The configurations of SwitchB and SwitchC are similar to the configuration of SwitchA.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
[SwitchA] vlan batch 10 20
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 10
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type trunk
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 20
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

Configure an IP address for each VLANIF interface.

# Configure SwitchA. The configurations of SwitchB and SwitchC are similar to the configuration of SwitchA.

[SwitchA] interface vlanif 10
[SwitchA-Vlanif10] ip address 192.168.0.1 24
[SwitchA-Vlanif10] quit
[SwitchA] interface vlanif 20
[SwitchA-Vlanif20] ip address 192.168.1.1 24
[SwitchA-Vlanif20] quit

Configure basic OSPF functions.

# Configure SwitchA.

[SwitchA] ospf 1 router-id 10.1.1.1
[SwitchA-ospf-1] area 0
[SwitchA-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255
[SwitchA-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] quit
[SwitchA-ospf-1] area 1
[SwitchA-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.1] network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
[SwitchA-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.1] return

# Configure SwitchB.

[SwitchB] ospf 1 router-id 10.2.2.2
[SwitchB-ospf-1] area 0
[SwitchB-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255
[SwitchB-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] return

# Configure SwitchC.

[SwitchC] ospf 1 router-id 10.3.3.3
[SwitchC-ospf-1] area 1
[SwitchC-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.1] network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
[SwitchC-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.1] return

Verify the configuration.

# Check information about OSPF neighbors on SwitchA.
