+OSPF
+####
+
+:abbr:`OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)` is a routing protocol for Internet
+Protocol (IP) networks. It uses a link state routing (LSR) algorithm and falls
+into the group of interior gateway protocols (IGPs), operating within a single
+autonomous system (AS). It is defined as OSPF Version 2 in :rfc:`2328` (1998)
+for IPv4. Updates for IPv6 are specified as OSPF Version 3 in :rfc:`5340`
+(2008). OSPF supports the :abbr:`CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing)`
+addressing model.
+
+OSPF is a widely used IGP in large enterprise networks.
+
+OSPFv2 (IPv4)
+#############
+
+In order to have a VyOS system exchanging routes with OSPF neighbors, you will
+at least need to configure an OSPF area and some network.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  set protocols ospf area 0 network 192.168.0.0/24
+
+That is the minimum configuration you will need.
+It is a good practice to define the router ID too.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  set protocols ospf parameters router-id 10.1.1.1
+
+
+Below you can see a typical configuration using 2 nodes, redistribute loopback
+address and the node 1 sending the default route:
+
+**Node 1**
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  set interfaces loopback lo address 10.1.1.1/32
+  set protocols ospf area 0 network 192.168.0.0/24
+  set protocols ospf default-information originate always
+  set protocols ospf default-information originate metric 10
+  set protocols ospf default-information originate metric-type 2
+  set protocols ospf log-adjacency-changes
+  set protocols ospf parameters router-id 10.1.1.1
+  set protocols ospf redistribute connected metric-type 2
+  set protocols ospf redistribute connected route-map CONNECT
+
+  set policy route-map CONNECT rule 10 action permit
+  set policy route-map CONNECT rule 10 match interface lo
+
+**Node 2**
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  set interfaces loopback lo address 10.2.2.2/32
+  set protocols ospf area 0 network 192.168.0.0/24
+  set protocols ospf log-adjacency-changes
+  set protocols ospf parameters router-id 10.2.2.2
+  set protocols ospf redistribute connected metric-type 2
+  set protocols ospf redistribute connected route-map CONNECT
+
+  set policy route-map CONNECT rule 10 action permit
+  set policy route-map CONNECT rule 10 match interface lo
