@chapter OSPFv2

  OSPF version 2 is a routing protocol which described in
@asis{RFC2328} - @cite{OSPF Version 2}.  OSPF is IGP (Interior Gateway
Protocols).  Compared with RIP, OSPF can provide scalable network
support and faster convergence time.  OSPF is widely used in large
networks such as ISP backbone and enterprise networks.

@section Configuring ospfd

There is no @command{ospfd} specific options.  Common options can be
specified (@pxref{Common Invocation Options}) to @command{ospfd}.
@command{ospfd} needs interface information from @command{zebra}.  So
please make it sure @command{zebra} is running before invoking
@command{ospfd}.

Like other daemons, @command{ospfd} configuration is done in OSPF
specific configuration file @file{ospfd.conf}.

@section OSPF router

To start OSPF process you have to specify the OSPF router.  As of this
writing, @command{ospfd} does not support multiple OSPF processes.

@deffn Command {router ospf} {}
@deffnx Command {no router ospf} {}
Enable or disable the OSPF process.  @command{ospfd} does not yet
support multiple OSPF processes.  So you can not specify an OSPF process
number.

More information regarding the behaviour controlled by this command can
be found in draft-ietf-ospf-abr-alt-05.txt and 
draft-ietf-ospf-shortcut-abr-02.txt
Quote: "Though the definition of the Area Border Router (ABR)
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."

This rfc2328, the sucessor to rfc1583, 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 specificly it demands that inter-area paths and intra-area path
are now of equal preference but still both preferred to external paths.

This command specifies the OSPF enabled interface.  If the interface has
an address of 10.0.0.1/8 then the command below provides network
information to the ospf routers
@example
@group
router ospf
 network 10.0.0.0/8 area 0
@end group
@end example
the network command's mask length should be the same as the interface
address's mask.
