OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling

Last Updated: May 4, 2009

The OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling feature allows you to selectively enable or disable Link-Local Signaling (LLS) for a specific interface regardless of the global (router level) setting that you have previously configured.

Finding Feature Information

For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the "Feature Information for OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling" section.

Information About OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling

Before configuring the feature, you should understand the concept in the following section:

•Benefits of the OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling Feature

Benefits of the OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling Feature

LLS allows for the extension of existing OSPF packets in order to provide additional bit space. The additional bit space enables greater information per packet exchange between OSPF neighbors. This functionality is used, for example, by the OSPF Nonstop Forwarding (NSF) Awareness feature that allows customer premises equipment (CPE) routers that are NSF-aware to help NSF-capable routers perform nonstop forwarding of packets.

When LLS is enabled at the router level, it is automatically enabled for all interfaces. The OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling feature allows you to selectively enable or disable LLS for a specific interface. You may want to disable LLS on a per-interface basis depending on your network design. For example, disabling LLS on an interface that is connected to a non-Cisco device that may be noncompliant with RFC 2328 can prevent problems with the forming of OSPF neighbors in the network.

How to Configure the OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling Feature

This section contains the following procedure:

•Turning Off LLS on a Per-Interface Basis (optional)

Turning Off LLS on a Per-Interface Basis

This task disables LLS on a specific interface.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface type slot/subslot/port

4. ip address ip-address mask [secondary]

5. no ip directed-broadcast [access-list-number | extended access-list-number]

6. ip ospf message-digest-key key-id encryption-type md5 key

7. [no | default] ip ospf lls [disable]

DETAILED STEPS

 
Command or Action
Purpose

Step 1 

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3 

interface type slot/port

Example:

Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1/0

Configures an interface type and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 4 

ip address ip-address mask [secondary]

Example:

Router(config-if)# ip address 10.2.145.20 255.255.255.0

Sets a primary or secondary IP address for an interface.

Step 5 

no ip directed-broadcast [access-list-number | extended access-list-number]

Example:

Router(config-if)# no ip directed-broadcast

Drops directed broadcasts destined for the subnet to which that interface is attached, rather than broadcasting them.

•The forwarding of IP directed broadcasts on Ethernet interface 1/0 is disabled.

Step 6  

ip ospf message-digest-key key-id encryption-type 
md5 key
Example:

Router(config-if)# ip ospf message-digest-key 100 md5 testing

Enables OSPF Message Digest 5 (MD5) algorithm authentication.

Step 7 

[no | default] ip ospf lls [disable]

Example:

Router(config-if)# ip ospf lls disable

Disables LLS on an interface, regardless of the global (router level) setting.

What to Do Next

To verify that LLS has been enabled or disabled for a specific interface, use the show ip ospf interface command. See the "Configuring and Verifying the OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling Feature: Example" section for an example of the information displayed.

Configuration Examples for the OSPF Per-Interface Link-Local Signaling Feature

This section contains the following configuration example:
