Configure OSPF Settings

All the links for OSPF configuration menus are contained within a subdirectory of the Layer 3 IP Networking
subdirectory (located in the Configuration folder). The OSPF tables used to monitor OSPF information can be
accessed using the links located in the OSPF subdirectory located in the Layer 3 subdirectory of the Monitoring
folder. OSPF tables are discussed following this section's discussion of OSPF configuration.
Global OSPF Settings
The OSPF General Setting menu allows OSPF to be enabled or disabled on the Switch − without changing the
Switch's OSPF configuration.
From the Layer 3 IP Networking folder, open the OSPF folder and click on the OSPF General Setting link. To
enable OSPF, first supply an OSPF Rout ID (see below), select Enabled from the State drop-down menu and
click the Apply button.
The following parameters are used for general 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.

Figure 24- 4. General Setup for OSPF
Description
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 10.255.255.255, 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.
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.
Allows OSPF to be enabled or disabled globally on the Switch without
changing the OSPF configuration.
