To name a discovered OSPF object, Network Protocol Manager for OSPF uses the appropriate naming format in Naming formats for discovered OSPF objects to assign the object a unique name. It then populates the object’s Name and DisplayName attributes with that name.

|
| OSPFArea |
Name:OSPF-AREA-<32-bit area identifier>[/<tag value>] An OSPF area that has a tag value in its name indicates that the area consists of OSPF interfaces that are layered over IP addresses that are tagged with that tag value. For example:OSPF-AREA-0.0.0.0 |
| DisplayName:<same as Name> |
|
| OSPFAreaConfiguration |
Name:OSPF-CFG-<host device name>/<32-bit area identifier> For example:OSPF-CFG-dev-Vpls0/0.0.0.0 |
| DisplayName:<same as Name> |
|
| OSPFService |
Name:OSPF-SVC-<host device name> For example:OSPF-SVC-dev-Vpls0 |
| DisplayName:OSPF-SVC-<host device name> [router identifier] For example:OSPF-SVC-dev-Vpls0 [192.168.10.1] |
|
| OSPFNetwork |
An OSPF network can exist for four network types:
The network type determines the naming format to be used for the OSPFNetwork object. |
| Broadcast, NBMA, and point-to-multipoint network types |
|
| Name:OSPF-NET-<IP network address>-<netmask value> For example:OSPF-NET-10.9.7.10-255.255.255.255 |

In an overlapping IP environment, Network Protocol Manager for OSPF observes the following rule to ensure that it creates the correct OSPF neighbor relationships in its modeled topology:
For an OSPF endpoint layered over a tagged IP that has a tag value of xxx, Network Protocol Manager for OSPF will create an OSPF neighbor relationship to a neighboring OSPF endpoint if and only if that endpoint is also layered over a tagged IP that has a tag value of xxx.
The following OSPF neighbor relationship confirms the observance of this rule. The tag value in the name of the OSPF neighbor relationship is highlighted in bold.
OSPF-NBR-dev-Vpls5/35 [Fa2/1.7] [172.17.15.6] [“Duplicate Interface”]-172.17.15.6/100:155->172.17.15.5/100:155<--> dev-Vpls7/56 [Fa0/0.7] [172.17.15.5] [“Duplicate Interface”]-172.17.15.5/100:155->172.17.15.6/100:155
Here are the OSPF endpoints for the OSPF neighbor relationship:
OSPF-EP-dev-Vpls5/35 [Fa2/1.7] [172.17.15.6] [“Duplicate Interface”]-172.17.15.6/100:155->172.17.15.5/100:155 OSPF-EP-dev-Vpls7/56 [Fa0/0.7] [172.17.15.5] [“Duplicate Interface”]-172.17.15.5/100:155->172.17.15.6/100:155
Here are the underlying OSPF interfaces for the OSPF endpoints:
OSPF-IF-dev-Vpls5/35 [Fa2/1.7] [172.17.15.6] [“Duplicate Interface”]-172.17.15.6/100:155 OSPF-IF-dev-Vpls7/56 [Fa0/0.7] [172.17.15.5] [“Duplicate Interface”]-172.17.15.5/100:155
Here is the OSPF area to which the OSPF interfaces are members:
