Configuring the Default Metric for Redistributed Routes

By default, the ProCurve Secure Router assigns routes redistributed into
OSPF a metric of 20. Enter the following command to change this metric for
all redistributed routes:
Syntax: default-metric <value>
For example, enter the following command to change the metric to 30:
ProCurve(config-ospf)# default-metric 30
The value can be between 0 and 4,294,967,295.
If you configure a different metric for an individual type of redistributed route,
that metric overrides the default metric.

Changing a Router's DR Priority

The WAN connections on the ProCurve Secure Router are point to point. WAN
OSPF interfaces will exchange LSAs only with their direct neighbors. How-
ever, the Ethernet interfaces on the router are in a multi-access network. They
can exchange LSAs with any other OSPF interface in the network, but they
only actually do so with the DR and the BDR. You can influence whether or
not an interface is elected the DR for its connected LAN by altering its priority.
Move to the configuration mode context of the logical interface and enter:
Syntax: ip ospf priority <value>
The value for the priority can be between 0 and 255. The default is 1, and 255
is the highest priority. You can raise the priority to ensure that an interface
becomes the DR for its subnet. For example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config-eth 0/1)# ip ospf priority 200

Altering OSPF Intervals

OSPF can be a relatively chatty protocol. For example, an interface sends its
neighbor a hello message every 10 seconds to notify it that the link is still up.
If necessary, you can change the timing intervals for such messages. You
configure these intervals for individual interfaces.
