8. Define the backbone.
9. Define the stub area.
10. Attach the network interface to the backbone.
11. Attach the network interface to the stub area.
12. Configure host routes. One host route is needed for each virtual server on Alteon 1. Since virtual
server 10.10.10.1 is preferred for Alteon 1, its host route has a low cost. Because virtual server
10.10.10.2 is used as a backup in case Alteon 2 fails, its host route has a high cost.
Note:
You do not need to enable redistribution (
/cfg/l3/ospf/redist
) if you configure
virtual server routes as host routes.
