Configuring the HiPath Wireless Controller
Performing the first-time setup of the HiPath Wireless Controller
●
Default
– The default acts as the backbone area (also known as area zero). It forms
the core of an OSPF network. All other areas are connected to it, and inter-area routing
happens via a router connected to the backbone area.
●
Stub
– The stub area does not receive external routes. External routes are defined as
routes which were distributed in OSPF via another routing protocol. Therefor, stub
areas typically rely on a default route to send traffic routes outside the present domain.
●
Not-so-stubby
– The not-so-stubby area is a type of stub area that can import
autonomous system (AS) external routes and send them to the default/backbone area,
but cannot receive AS external routes from the backbone or other areas.

To set OSPF Routing Port Settings on the HiPath Wireless Controller:
1.
From the main menu, click
Wireless Controller Configuration
. The
HiPath Wireless
Controller Configuration
screen appears.
2.
In the left pane, click
Routing Protocols
.
3.
Click the
OSPF
tab. The
OSPF Settings
screen appears.
4.
From the
Port Status
drop-down list, select
Enabled
to enable OSPF on the port. The
default setting is
Disabled
.
5.
In the
Link Cost
box, type the OSPF standard for your network for this port. This is the cost
of sending a data packet on the interface. The lower the cost, the more likely the interface
is to be used to forward data traffic.
The default setting is
10
for C100/C1000.
6.
From the
Authentication
drop-down list, select the authentication type for OSPF on your
network:
None
or
Password
. The default setting is
None
.
7.
If
Password
was selected as the authentication type, in the
Password
box, type the
password. If
None
was selected as the Authentication type, leave this box blank. This
password must match on either end of the OSPF connection.
8.
Type the following:
●
Hello-Interval
– Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default).The default
setting is
10
seconds.

If more than one port is enabled for OSPF, it is important to prevent the HiPath
Wireless Controller from serving as a router for other network traffic (other than
the traffic from wireless device users controlled by the HiPath Wireless
Controller). To ensure that the HiPath Wireless Controller is never the preferred
OSPF route, set the Link Cost to its maximum value of 65535. Filters should also
be defined that will drop routed packets. For more information, see Section 7.6,
“Configuring filtering rules for a VNS”, on page 153.
