Assigning a Router ID
In CONFIGURATION ROUTER OSPF mode, assign the router ID.
The router ID is not required to be the router’s IP address. However, Dell Networking recommends using the IP address as the router ID for
easier management and troubleshooting. Optional
process-id commands are also described.

Enabling Multi-Process OSPF (OSPFv2, IPv4 Only)
Multi-process OSPF allows multiple OSPFv2 processes on a single router.
For more information, refer to Multi-Process OSPF (OSPFv2, IPv4 Only)
When conguring a single OSPF process, follow the same steps previously described. Repeat them as often as necessary for the desired
number of processes. After the process is created, all other congurations apply as usual.
