Configuring the OSPF Routing Protocol (Layer 3)

Configuring the OSPF Global Configuration

The OSPF global configuration allows you to globally configure OSPF on your switch. It
also allows you to specify your router ID and whether or not you want the switch to be
the Autonomous System (AS) border router.
To globally configure OSPF:
1. In the OSPF Configuration section of the Web Agent window, click Global
Configuration. The OSPF Global Configuration dialog box opens.
2. Use Table 9-1 to configure your global setup:
Parameter
OSPF
Router ID
AS Border Router
SPF Hold Time
SPF Suspend
Auto-Creation of
Virtual Links
Maximum Number of
Paths
Local Ext Type
RIP Ext Type
Static Ext Type
Static Low Ext Type
3. Click APPLY to save changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings.

Table 9-1. OSPF Global Configuration Parameters
Allows you to...
Select to enable or disable OSPF globally on your switch.
Specify the Router ID on the switch. The router ID is a 32-bit
number assigned to each router running the OSPF protocol. This
number uniquely identifies the router within an Autonomous
System. If 0.0.0.0 is used, the router uses the IP address of an
interface.
Enable or disable the switch to be an Autonomous System
Border Router (ASBR).
Specify the minimum number of seconds between SPF runs.
Specify the number of nodes to process SPF runs before
suspending.
Enable or disable the function of automating the creation of
virtual circuits based on network topology.
Configure the maximum number of paths used when running
SPF.
Specify whether imported local routes will be advertised in OSPF
with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
Specify whether imported RIP routes will be advertised in OSPF
with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
Specify whether imported high preference routes will be
advertised in OSPF with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external)
metrics.
Specify whether imported low preference routes will be
advertised in OSPF with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external)
metrics.
