Route summarization: When redistributing routes from other protocols as described in the
"Redistributing Routing Information" section on page
in an external LSA. To help decrease the size of the OSPF link state database, you can use the
summary-address router configuration command to advertise a single router for all the
redistributed routes included in a specified network address and mask.
Virtual links: In OSPF, all areas must be connected to a backbone area. You can establish a virtual
link in case of a backbone-continuity break by configuring two Area Border Routers as endpoints
of a virtual link. Configuration information includes the identity of the other virtual endpoint (the
other ABR) and the nonbackbone link that the two routers have in common (the transit area). Virtual
links cannot be configured through a stub area.
Default route: When you specifically configure redistribution of routes into an OSPF routing
domain, the route automatically becomes an autonomous system boundary router (ASBR). You can
force the ASBR to generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain.
Domain Name Server (DNS) names for use in all OSPF show privileged EXEC command displays
makes it easier to identify a router than displaying it by router ID or neighbor ID.
Default Metrics: OSPF calculates the OSPF metric for an interface according to the bandwidth of
the interface. The metric is calculated as ref-bw divided by bandwidth, where ref is 10 by default,
and bandwidth (bw) is determined by the bandwidth interface configuration command. For multiple
links with high bandwidth, you can specify a larger number to differentiate the cost on those links.
Administrative distance is a rating of the trustworthiness of a routing information source, an integer
between 0 and 255, with a higher value meaning a lower trust rating. An administrative distance of
255 means the routing information source cannot be trusted at all and should be ignored. OSPF uses
three different administrative distances: routes within an area (interarea), routes to another area
(interarea), and routes from another routing domain learned through redistribution (external). You
can change any of the distance values.
