Nick,

The process IDs are of local significance only. They are used to
distinguish between multiple OSPF processes in the configuration and are not
passed between routers.

So why would you need multiple OSPF processes running? One reason would be
if you are connecting two OSPF networks and need to redistribute between
networks.

Take care,

Paul Borghese

Subject: Cisco to Nortel OSPF question

I have a Cisco router running OSPF with Process ID 1 and a Nortel router
running a Process ID 811. Can these both talk to one another if the Process
ID's are different. I know running Cisco to Cisco via different Process ID's
works but I need to know if it will work with Cisco to Nortel. Any help
would be appreciated, thanks!!
