Configuring the P2MP network type for an interface

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

N/A

3. Configure the OSPF network type for the interface as P2MP.

ospf network-type p2mp [ unicast ]

By default, the network type of an interface is broadcast.

After you configure the OSPF network type for an interface as P2MP unicast, all packets are unicast over the interface. The interface cannot broadcast hello packets to discover neighbors, so you must manually specify the neighbors.

4. Return to system view.

quit

N/A

5. Enter OSPF view.

ospf [ process-id | router-id router-id | vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] *

N/A

6. (Optional.) Specify a neighbor and set its router priority.

peer ip-address [ cost cost-value ]

By default, no neighbor is specified.

This step must be performed if the network type is P2MP unicast, and is optional if the network type is P2MP.
