OSPF Area Setting

This menu allows the configuration of OSPF Area IDs and to designate these areas as Normal, Stub or NSSA. 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.
To set up an OSPF area configuration click Layer 3 Features > OSPF > OSPF Area Settings link to open the following dialog
box:
To add an OSPF Area to the table, type a unique Area ID (see below) select the Type from the drop-down menu. For a Stub type,
choose Enabled or Disabled from the Stub Summary drop-down menu and determine the Metric. Click the Add/Modify button
to add the area ID set to the table.

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 11.1.1.1, 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.
