Chapter27 Configuring OSPF
Customizing OSPF
If you click Advanced, you can configure the Router ID, Adjacency Changes, Administrative Route
Distances, Timers, and Default Information Originate settings for each OSPF process. See the
“Configuring Route Calculation Timers” section on page27-13 for more information.
•The Area/Networks tab allows you to display the areas and the networks that they include for each
OSPF process on the ASA. From this tab you can display the area ID, the area type, and the type of
authentication set for the area. To add or edit the OSPF area or network, see the “Configuring OSPF
Area Parameters” section on page27-11 for more information.
•The Route Summarization tab allows you to configure an ABR. In OSPF, an ABR will advertise
networks in one area into another area. If the network numbers in an area are assigned in a way so
that they are contiguous, you can configure the ABR to advertise a summary route that includes all
the individual networks within the area that fall into the specified range. See the “Configuring Route
Summarization Between OSPF Areas” section on page 27-8 for more information.

Redistributing Routes Into OSPF

The ASA can control the redistribution of routes between OSPF routing processes.
Note If you want to redistribute a route by defining which of the routes from the specified routing protocol are
allowed to be redistributed into the target routing process, you must first generate a default route. See
the “Configuring Static and Default Routes” section on page25-2, and then define a route map according
to the “Defining a Route Map” section on page26-4.
To redistribute static, connected, RIP, or OSPF routes into an OSPF process, perform the following steps:
Step1 In the main ASDM window, choose Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > OSPF >
Redistribution.
