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.
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.
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.
