Virtual Cisco ASA 8.4.2 Can't start OSPF

Post by ldemon123 » Thu Oct 17, 2019 2:20 pm

Hi all!

I'am trying to start OSPF on virtual ASA 8.4.2 (not ASAv) but fail with an error message:

ERROR: Unable to create router process

Could anybody please tell me the version in which i can start OSPF?

Thank in advance.

you must configure at least one interface with IP and then router ospf will work
