nbma: Specifies the network type as NBMA.
p2mp: Specifies the network type as P2MP.
unicast: Specifies the P2MP interface to unicast OSPF packets. By default, a P2MP interface multicasts
OSPF packets.
p2p: Specifies the network type as P2P.
Description
Use the ospf network-type command to set the network type for an interface.
Use the undo ospf network-type command to restore the default network type for an interface.
By default, the network type of an interface depends on its link layer protocol.
For Ethernet, and FDDI, the default network type is broadcast.
For ATM, FR, and X.25, the default network type is NBMA.
For PPP, LAPB, HDLC, and POS, the default network type is P2P.
If a router on a broadcast network does not support multicast, you can configure the interface’s network
type as NBMA.
If any two routers on an NBMA network are directly connected via a virtual link, that is, the network is
fully meshed, you can configure the network type as NBMA; otherwise you must configure it as P2MP for
two routers having no direct link to exchange routing information via another router.
When the network type of an interface is NBMA or P2MP unicast, use the peer command to specify a
neighbor.
If only two routers run OSPF on a network segment, you can configure associated interfaces’ network
type as P2P.
When the network type of an interface is P2MP unicast, all OSPF packets are sent out the interface
through unicast.

NOTE:
This command is not supported on the null or loopback interfaces.
