A number of global settings can be overruled in specific areas or interfaces. .It Sy Areas An OSPF router must be a member of at least one area. Areas are used to group interfaces, simplifying configuration. .El .Sh MACROS Macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context. Macro names must start with a letter, and may contain letters, digits, and underscores. Macro names may not be reserved words (for example, .Ic area , .Ic interface , or .Ic hello-interval ) . Macros are not expanded inside quotes. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent hi="5" area 0.0.0.0 { interface em0 { hello-interval $hi } } .Ed .Pp The same can be accomplished by specifying the hello-interval globally or within the area declaration. .Sh GLOBAL CONFIGURATION All interface related settings can be configured globally, per area and per interface. The only settings that can be set globally and not overruled are listed below. .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact .It Xo .Ic fib-update .Pq Ic yes Ns \&| Ns Ic no .Xc If set to .Ic \&no , do not update the Forwarding Information Base, a.k.a. the kernel routing table. The default is .Ic yes . Setting .Ic fib-update to .Ic \&no may result in routing loops and could cause major routing issues in the complete OSPF cloud. Only routers with just one link to the OSPF cloud may safely set it to .Ic no . .Pp .It Xo .Op Ic no .Ic redistribute .Sm off .Po Ic static Ns \&| Ns Ic connected Ns \&| Ns .Ic default Pc .Sm on .Op Ic set ...\& .Xc .It Xo .Op Ic no .Ic redistribute Ar prefix Op Ic set ...\& .Xc .It Xo .Op Ic no .Ic redistribute rtlabel Ar label Op Ic set ...\& .Xc If set to .Ic connected , routes to directly attached networks will be announced over OSPF. If set to .Ic static , static routes will be announced over OSPF. If set to .Ic default , a default route pointing to this router will be announced over OSPF. It is possible to specify a network range with .Ar prefix ; networks need to be part of that range to be redistributed. Additionally it is possible to redistribute based on route labels using the .Ic rtlabel keyword. By default no additional routes will be announced over OSPF. .Pp .Ic redistribute statements are evaluated in sequential order, from first to last. The first matching rule decides if a route should be redistributed or not. Matching rules starting with .Ic no will force the route to be not announced. The only exception is .Ic default , which will be set no matter what, and additionally .Ic no cannot be used together with it. .Pp It is possible to set the route .Ic metric and .Ic type for each redistribute rule. .Ic type is either 1 or 2. The default value for .Ic type is 1 and for .Ic metric is 100. Setting more then one option needs curly brackets: .Bd -literal -offset indent redistribute static set { metric 300 type 2 } .Ed .Pp .It Xo .Ic rfc1583compat .Pq Ic yes Ns \&| Ns Ic no .Xc If set to .Ic yes , decisions regarding AS-external routes are evaluated according to RFC 1583. The default is .Ic no . .Pp .It Ic router-id Ar address Set the router ID; if not specified, the lowest IP address of the router will be used. .Pp .It Ic spf-delay Ar seconds Set SPF delay in seconds. The delay between receiving an update to the link state database and starting the shortest path first calculation. The default value is 1; valid range is 1\-10 seconds. .Pp .It Ic spf-holdtime Ar seconds Set the SPF holdtime in seconds. The minimum time between two consecutive shortest path first calculations. The default value is 5 seconds; the valid is range 1\-5 seconds. .El .Sh AREAS Areas are used for grouping interfaces. All interface specific parameters can be configured per area, overruling the global settings. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic area Ar address Specify an area section, grouping one or more interfaces. .Bd -literal -offset indent area 0.0.0.0 { interface em0 interface em1 { metric 10 } } .Ed .El .Sh INTERFACES Each interface can have several parameters configured individually, otherwise they are inherited. An interface is specified by its name. If multiple networks are configured an additional IP address can be supplied. By default the first IP address is used. .Bd -literal -offset indent interface em0 { auth-type crypt auth-md 1 "yotVoo_Heypp" auth-md-keyid 1 } interface fxp0:192.168.1.3 .Ed .Pp Interface specific parameters are listed below. .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ic auth-key Ar key Set the authentication key for .Ic simple authentication. Up to 8 characters can be specified. .It Ic auth-md Ar key-id key Set the authentication .Ar key-id and .Ar key for .Ic crypt authentication. The valid range for .Ar key-id is 0\-255. Up to 16 characters can be specified for .Ar key . Multiple keys may be specified. .It Ic auth-md-keyid Ar key-id Configure the .Ar key-id to use for .Ic crypt authentication. The valid range for .Ar key-id is 0\-255. The default key-id is 1. While key-id 0 is valid, it is unavailable on Cisco devices. .It Xo .Ic auth-type .Po Ic none Ns \&| Ns .Ic simple Ns \&| Ns Ic crypt Pc .Xc Set the authentication type. The default is .Ic none . Simple authentication uses a plaintext password, up to 8 characters. Crypt authentication uses an MD5 hash. .It Ic hello-interval Ar seconds Set the hello interval. The default value is 10; valid range is 1\-65535 seconds. .It Ic metric Ar cost Set the interface metric a.k.a. cost. The default value is 10; valid range is 1\-65535. .It Ic passive Prevent transmission and reception of OSPF packets on this interface. The specified interface will be announced as a stub network. .It Ic retransmit-interval Ar seconds Set retransmit interval. The default value is 5 seconds; valid range is 5\-3600 seconds. .It Ic router-dead-time Ar seconds Set the router dead time, a.k.a. neighbor inactivity timer. The default value is 40 seconds; valid range is 2\-2147483647 seconds. When a neighbor has been inactive for router-dead-time its state is set to DOWN. Neighbors that have been inactive for more than 24 hours are completely removed. .It Ic router-priority Ar priority Set the router priority. The default value is 1; valid range is 0\-255. If set to 0 the router is not eligible as a Designated Router or Backup Designated Router. .It Ic transmit-delay Ar seconds Set the transmit delay. The default value is 1; valid range is 1\-3600 seconds. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "/etc/ospfd.conf" -compact .It Pa /etc/ospfd.conf .Xr ospfd 8 configuration file .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ospfctl 8 , .Xr ospfd 8 , .Xr rc.conf.local 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm file format first appeared in .Ox 3.7 .
