Figure 6-44. Setup OSPF menu

Each menu item is explained as follows:

OSPF Area Setting – Allows the configuration of sub-domains called OSPF areas and the designating them as either Normal or Stub areas. Normal areas allow the advertisement of external routes and stub areas do not.

OSPF Interface Configuration – Allows the entry of OSPF Interfaces that correspond to IP interfaces defined previously on the switch.

Virtual Interface Configuration – Allows the definition of areas that allow links with outside routers to access the OSPF backbone.

Area Aggregation Configuration – Allows OSPF areas to be represented by their network- number (network address) and subnet mask. In addition, the type of Link-State Database advertisements can be specified for each area.

On the Setup OSPF menu itself, an OSPF Router ID for the switch is entered. This is a 32-bit number (in the form of an IP address) that uniquely identifies the switch as an OSPF router on the network.
