The following parameters are used for general OSPF configuration:
Parameter Description
OSPF Route ID
A 32-bit number (in the same format as an IP address
−
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
that uniquely identifies the Switch in the OSPF domain. It is common to
assign the highest IP address assigned to the Switch (router). In this case,
it would be 10.53.13.189, but any unique 32-bit number will do. If 0.0.0.0 is
entered, the highest IP address assigned to the Switch will become the
OSPF Route ID.
Current Route ID
Displays the OSPF Route ID currently in use by the Switch. This Route ID
is displayed as a convenience to the user when changing the Switch’s
OSPF Route ID.
State
Allows OSPF to be enabled or disabled globally on the Switch without
changing the OSPF configuration.
OSPF Area Setting
This menu allows the configuration of OSPF Area IDs and to designate these areas as either
Normal
or
Stub
.
Normal OSPF areas allow Link-State Database (LSDB) advertisements of routes to networks that are external to
the area, Stub areas do not allow the LSDB advertisement of external routes. Stub areas use a default summary
external route (0.0.0.0 or Area 0) to reach external destinations.
To set up an OSPF Area configuration click the
