The Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPF) is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that routes packets within a single autonomous system (AS). To use OSPF, you must understand the basic components of an OSPF network and configure the J-series Services Router to act as a node in the network.

Note: The J-series Services Router supports both OSPF version 2 and OSPF version 3. In this chapter, the term OSPF refers to both versions of the protocol. |
You can use either J-Web Quick Configuration or a configuration editor to configure an OSPF network.
This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about OSPF, see the JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide.
