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 Layer 3 Featrures > OSPF > OSPF Area Settings link
to open the following dialog box:
