Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide

December 2000
The <num> | <ip-addr> parameter specifies the area number, which can be a number or in IP address format. If
you specify an number, the number can be from 0 – 2,147,483,647.
The
nssa
parameter specifies that this is an NSSA. For more information about configuring NSSAs, see “Assign
a Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA)” on page 17-11.
The <cost> specifies an additional cost for using a route to or from this area and can be from
1 – 16777215. If you configure a stub area or NSSA, you must specify the cost. There is no default. Normal
areas do not use the cost parameter.
The
no-summary
parameter applies only to stub areas and disables summary LSAs from being sent into the
area. See “Assign a Totally Stubby Area” on page 17-11.
NOTE:
You can assign one area on a router interface. For example, if the system or chassis module has 16
ports, 16 areas are supported on the chassis or module.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1.
Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access.
2.
If you have not already enabled OSPF, enable it by clicking on the Enable radio button next to OSPF on the
System configuration panel, then clicking Apply to apply the change.
3.
Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.
4.
Click on the plus sign next to OSPF in the tree view to expand the list of OSPF option links.
5.
Click on the Area link to display the OSPF Area configuration panel, as shown in the following figure.
NOTE:
If the device already has OSPF areas, a table listing the areas is displayed. Click the Modify button
to the right of the row describing an area to change its configuration, or click the Add Area link to display the
OSPF Area configuration panel.
6.
Enter the area ID in the Area ID field. The ID can be a number or an IP address.
7.
Select the area type by clicking on the radio button next to its description in the Type field. For example, to
select NSSA, click next to NSSA.
8.
If you are configuring a stub area or NSSA, enter a cost in the Stub Cost field. The parameter is required for
those area types but is not required for normal areas. You can specify from 1 – 16777215. There is no
default.
9.
Click the Add button to add the area to the running-config file.
10. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.
