QuickSET Configuration Guide
OSPF employs “flooding” to exchange link-states with other routers. Any change in routing
information is flooded to all routers in the network. The use of “areas” puts a boundary on the
explosion of link-state updates. All routers within an area will have the exact link-state database.
Figure 53 OSPF Settings Window
The OSPF Settings window shown in
Figure 53
on the previous page, displays a database of areas.
Areas are represented by an address (area ID) similar to an IP address in format; four groups of
three decimal numbers, separated by periods. There is no mask associated with area IDs.
The Import AS External (True or False) field, when set to True allows the importation of
Autonomous System external link-state advertisements into the Area ID in the Area ID field. To
add an area to the database, click the Add Area button.
Use the Add OSPF Area window (shown in
Figure 54
, below) to add an area to the database. The
Delete Area button will delete the area highlighted in the database in the OSPF Settings Window.
