IP Routing in a Single Area OSPF Network

The example configurations below provide IP routing between two HP ProCurve 5300XL Switches (Switch A
and Switch B) using OSPF as the routing protocol. The two switches are within a single area OSPF domain.

Switch A and B configured to provide IP routing between VLANs using only OSPF as the routing protocol. All
protocols are switched within each VLAN.

Switch B is configured to restrict advertisement of VLAN 40 by OSPF.

This configuration example applies to the following products:

� J4819A HP ProCurve Switch 5308XL
� J4850A HP ProCurve Switch 5304XL

WARNING:
The example configuration below was created from a factory default configuration on the HP ProCurve
5300XL Switch. The first 3 commands in the sequence of CLI commands given below will first reset the switch
back to factory default settings. We recommend saving your current configuration if necessary. Otherwise, skip
the first 3 commands.

NOTES:
1. The interface port numbers (e.g. interface a1) and the IP address (e.g. 10.10.10.2) may differ in your
network, so adjust these values accordingly.
2. The HP ProCurve Switch 5300XL Series (e.g. HP 5304XL), type of module(s), and software version
number below may not accurately reflect the device(s) you are configuring.
3. The area 0.0.0.0 command is used to assign the 5300XLSwitches to the single backbone area.
4. The ip ospf area 0.0.0.0 command is used to assign the individual interfaces to the OSPF area.
5. In the example below for Switch B, as soon as the redistribute connected command is issued for a given
routing protocol, ALL connected routes are advertised within that routing protocol. The restrict
198.168.40.0/24 command is used in order to keep this directly connected network (e.g. VLAN 40) from
being advertised through OSPF to Switch A.
6. In the example below, the redistribute connected command is needed in order for Switch A to learn (via
OSPF) the directly connected network (e.g., the 30.30.30.0 network) on Switch B and vice versa. By
default the Switch 5300XL will not advertise directly connected OSPF networks. By default the Switch
5300XL will advertise directly connected RIP networks.
7. The configuration examples below were created on software version E.06.01.
