Operands vrf name The name of the non-default VRF to connect.

Description Use this command to enable the OSPF routing protocol and enter OSPF VRF router configuration
mode. With NetworkOS4.0 and later, OSPF can run over multiple Virtual Forwarding and Routing
(VRF) mechanisms. OSPF maintains multiple instances of the routing protocol to exchange route
information among various VRF instances.
Usage Guidelines Enter no router ospf to delete all current OSPF configuration and to block any further OSPF
configuration.
Examples To enable OSPF on a default VRF and to enter OSPF VRF router configuration mode, run the router
ospf command in RBridge ID configuration mode, as shown in the following example:
switch# configure
switch(config)# rbridge-id 5
switch(config-rbridge-id-5)#router ospf
switch(config-router-ospf-vrf-default-vrf)
To enable OSPF on a non-default VRF and to enter OSPF VRF router configuration mode, run the
router ospf vrf name command in RBridge ID configuration mode, as shown in the following
example:
switch# configure
switch(config)# rbridge-id 5
switch(config-rbridge-id-5)#router ospf vrf vrfname
switch(config-router-ospf-vrf-vrfname)
