Example: Configuring OSPF on Logical Systems Within the Same Router
This example shows how to configure an OSPF network using multiple logical systems that are running on a single physical router. The logical systems are connected by logical tunnel interfaces.
Requirements
You must connect the logical systems by using logical tunnel (lt) interfaces. See Example: Connecting Logical Systems Within the Same Router Using Logical Tunnel Interfaces.
Overview
This example shows the configuration of a single OSPF area with three logical systems running on one physical router. Each logical system has its own routing table. The configuration enables the protocol on all logical system interfaces that participate in the OSPF domain and specifies the area that the interfaces are in.
Figure 1 shows the sample network.

Configuration
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example, copy the following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
To configure OSPF on logical systems:
Configure the logical tunnel interface on Logical System LS1 connecting to Logical System LS2.

Results
Confirm your configuration by issuing the show logical-systems command.
Verification
Confirm that the configuration is working properly.
Verifying That the Logical Systems Are Up
Purpose
Make sure that the interfaces are properly configured.

Verifying Connectivity Between the Logical Systems
Purpose
Make sure that the OSPF adjacencies are established by checking the OSPF neighbor tables, checking the routing tables, and pinging the logical systems.
