Configuring the OSPF Router ID
Before you enable OSPF on the CSS, configure the router ID. Assigning a router
ID to the CSS uniquely identifies it to other routers within the autonomous
system. In addition, in the case of a priority tie when determining which router is
the designated router, the ID serves as a tie-breaker in the designated router
election. For more information on designated routers, see the “Setting the Priority
of the CSS” section.
Use the ospf router-id command to configure the OSPF router ID for the CSS. A
router ID is a 32-bit number in dotted-decimal notation.
To assign the router ID of 121.23.21.1 to the CSS, enter:
(config)# ospf router-id 121.23.21.1
Note If OSPF is globally enabled, use the no form of the ospf enable command to
disable OSPF and change the router ID.
To delete the router ID on the CSS, disable OSPF and enter:
(config)# no ospf router-id
