Lee,

It sounds like you're confusing router-id with area id.

The area id can be 0.0.0.0, not the router-id.

Also, make sure you know how the router-id is automatically set if you don't
manually set it yourself with the router-id command.

This is covered in Doyle's book, Routing TCP/IP vol 1.

HTH, Tim

Subject: OSPF Router-ID 0.0.0.0

Hi all,

I have read the previous posts and have searched for
setting an OSPF router-id to 0.0.0.0. However, after
trying the suggestions I am still unable to actually
accomplish this task.

What I have done so far is go under the router ospf
process and type

router-id 0.0.0.0

Then clear ip ospf process (or reboot) and check my
process ID by one of two says.

On the local router (show ip ospf) or on a neighbor
router (show ip ospf neighbor) both give me the router
ID of a loopback interface that I have (200.0.0.1) and
not the ID of 0.0.0.0.

The command entered under the router ospf process
takes without error but does not show up in the
running configuration and I don't get the usual
message of (you must clear ospf processes for the
changes to take affect).

Has anyone actually done this (setting their router-id
ot 0.0.0.0) if so. What version of code were/are you
running and how did you do it?

I am running 12.3 on a 2610.

Thanks,
