Usage guidelines

OSPF uses a router ID to identify a device. If no router ID is specified, the global router ID is used.

If no global router ID is configured, the highest loopback interface IP address is used as the router ID. If no loopback interface IP address is available, the highest physical interface IP address is used, regardless of the interface status (up or down).

During an active/standby switchover, the new active main processing unit (MPU) checks whether the previously backed up router ID is valid. If not, it selects a new router ID.

A new router ID is selected only when the interface IP address used as the router ID is removed or changed. Other events will not trigger a router ID re-selection. For example, router ID re-selection is not triggered in the following situations:

• The interface goes down.

• You change the router ID to the address of a loopback interface after a physical interface address is selected as the router ID.

• A higher interface IP address is configured as the router ID.

After a router ID is changed, you must use the reset command to enable it.

Examples

# Configure a global router ID as 1.1.1.1.

[Sysname] router id 1.1.1.1
