3 [[//OSPF will be used to provide reachability between the 10.0.4.0/24 and the 10.0.0.0/22 networks over the Site-to-Site VPN.//>>image:topology.png]]

5 In the example diagram above, all of the EdgeRouters are ABRs (Area Border Routers) and contain an active interface in OSPF area 0 and another area. There is a Site-to-Site VPN configured between ER-4 and ER-1, over which the OSPF adjacency is established and the routing information for the 10.0.4.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/22 networks is exchanged. There is more information about VPNs in the [[Route-Based Site-to-Site IPsec VPN>>url:https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011377588]] article.

7 Follow the steps below to enable the OSPF process on the relevant interfaces of all routers:
8
9 **CLI:** Access the Command Line Interface on ER-4.You can do this using the CLI button in the GUI or by using a program such as PuTTY.
10
11 ~1. Enter configuration mode.
12
13 {{{configure}}}
14
15 2. Define the OSPF network type for the **vti0** interface.
16
17 Copy
18
19 {{{set interfaces vti vti0 ip ospf network point-to-point}}}
20
21 3.[[image:https://help-center-assets.ubnt.com/optional.svg||height="17" width="66"]] Define a custom OSPF router ID.
22
23 Copy
24
25 {{{set protocols ospf parameters router-id 0.0.0.4}}}
26
27 4. Enable the OSPF routing process on the relevant interfaces and define the OSPF area number.
28
29 Copy
30
31 {{{set protocols ospf area 0 network 10.255.12.0/30
32 set protocols ospf area 4 network 10.0.4.0/24}}}
33
34 5.[[image:https://help-center-assets.ubnt.com/optional.svg||height="17" width="66"]] Set all interfaces to **passive**, with the exception of interfaces that should form adjacencies with other OSPF routers.
35
36 Copy
37
38 {{{set protocols ospf passive-interface default
39 set protocols ospf passive-interface-exclude vti0
40 set protocols ospf passive-interface-exclude eth1}}}
41
42 **NOTE:** Interfaces which are set to passive are unable to form OSPF neighborship adjacancies.
43
44 6. Commit the changes and save the configuration.
45
46 {{{commit ; save}}}
47
48 **CLI:** Access the Command Line Interface on ER-1.
49
50 ~1. Enter configuration mode.
51
52 {{{configure}}}
53
54 2. Define the OSPF network type for the **vti0** interface.
55
56 Copy
57
58 {{{set interfaces vti vti0 ip ospf network point-to-point}}}
59
60 3. Define the OSPF network type for the **eth1** interface and lower the priority to 1.
61
62 Copy
63
64 {{{set interfaces ethernet eth1 ip ospf priority 1
65 set interfaces ethernet eth1 ip ospf network broadcast}}}
66
67 **NOTE:** Lowering the OSPF priority **ensures** that ER-1 becomes the DR (Designated Router) on the 10.0.1.0/24 LAN segment.
