OSPF Area ID Settings

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.

link to open the following window:

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 10.53.13.189, 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.
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.
