To set OSPF Routing Port Settings on the Summit WM Controller:
1 From the main menu, click Summit Switch Configuration. The Summit WM Controller
Configuration screen is displayed.
2 In the left pane, click Routing Protocols.
3 Click the OSPF tab. The OSPF Settings screen is displayed.
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 5 for WM20.
NOTE
If more than one port is enabled for OSPF, it is important to prevent the Summit WM Controller from serving as
a router for other network traffic (other than the traffic from wireless device users controlled by the Summit WM
Controller). To ensure that the Summit WM 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
"Configuring Filtering Rules for a WM-AD" on page
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.
Dead-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default). The default setting is 40
●
seconds.
Retransmit-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default). The default setting is
●
5 seconds.
Transmit Delay– Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default). The default setting is 1
●
second.
9 To save your changes, click Save.
To confirm that ports are set for OSPF:
1 To confirm that the ports are set up for OSPF, and that advertised routes from the upstream router
are recognized, click View Forwarding Table. The Forwarding Table is displayed.
The following additional reports display OSPF information when the protocol is in operation:
OSPF Neighbor – Displays the current neighbors for OSPF (routers that have interfaces to a
●
common network)
OSPF Linkstate – Displays the Link State Advertisements (LSAs) received by the currently
●
running OSPF process. The LSAs describe the local state of a router or network, including the
state of the router's interfaces and adjacencies.
2 To update the display, click Refresh.
