Let's run this tutorial: https://youtu.be/NuJio20QZ9Y?t=388

1. Create an Instance
2. Create an Area
3. Create an Interface Template
4. Test it

We want to create a loopback interface to host the router ID. You do this in Cisco, but for us we create an empty bridge to effect the same thing.

But it looks like we can make real loopback devices now, so I'll try that.

• Create the device
• Stick an IP on that device
• Create a new router ID, with ID = the IP you just added

Create the OSPF instance, version 2 for IPv4, using the router ID you just created.

Create the area, call it Backbone, area 0.0.0.0, in the instance you just created.

Create an interface template, one for the OSPF active area, then one PASSIVE one for each link/subnet you want to advertise.

In this case it's an active template on VLAN11_MGMT, and a passive template on the subnets that hang off of the router, like VLAN32_ISCSI.
