Syntax

interface-type (nbma | p2mp);

Hierarchy Level

[edit protocols ospf area area-id interface interface-name]

Description

Specify the type of interface.

By default, the software chooses the correct interface type based on the type of physical interface. Therefore, you should never have to set the interface type. The exception to this is for NBMA interfaces, which default to an interface type of point-to-multipoint. To have these interfaces explicitly run in NBMA mode, configure the nbma interface type.

Default

The software chooses the correct interface type based on the type of physical interface.

Options

nbma--Nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) interface.

p2mp--Point-to-multipoint interface.
