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

ospf network-type p2mp [ unicast ]

By default, the network type of an interface depends on the link layer protocol.

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. In that case, you need to manually specify the neighbors.

5. Enter OSPF view.

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

6. Specify a neighbor and its router priority on a P2MP unicast network.

peer ip-address [ cost value | dr-priority dr-priority ]

Required if the interface type is P2MP unicast.
