OSPF Process Displays the ID of the OSPF process you are configuring. You cannot
change this value in this dialog box.
Router ID To use a fixed router ID, enter a router ID in IP address format in the
Router ID field. If you leave this value blank, the highest-level IP
address on the security appliance is used as the router ID.
Ignore LSA MOSPF Select this option to suppress transmission of syslog messages when the
security appliance receives Type 6 (MOSPF) LSA packets.
RFC 1583 Compatible Select this option to calculate summary route costs per RFC 1583.
Deselect this option to calculate summary route costs per RFC 2328. To
minimize the chance of routing loops, all OSPF devices in an OSPF
routing domain should have RFC compatibility set identically. This
option is selected by default.
