The following fields can be set:

ParameterDescription

OSPF Router

ID:[ ]

A 32-bit number (in the form of an IP address − xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that uniquely identifies the switch in the OSPF domain. It is common to assign the highest IP address assigned to the switch (router). In this case, it would be 10.255.255.255, but any unique 32-bit number will do. If 0.0.0.0 is entered, the highest IP address assigned to the switch will become the OSPF Route ID.

Current	Router	Displays the OSPF Route ID currently in use by the switch.
ID:[ ]		This Route ID is displayed as a convenience to the user
		when changing the switch’s OSPF Route ID.
AS Border Router		Autonomous System Border Router − displays whether or
		not the switch is configured as an AS Border Router.
State:<Disabled>		Allows OSPF to be enabled or disabled globally on the
		switch without changing the OSPF configuration.

OSPF Area Setting

This menu allows the configuration of OSPF Area IDs and to designate these areas as either Normal or Stub. Normal OSPF areas allow Link-State Database (LSDB) advertisements of routes to networks that are external to the area. Stub areas do not allow the LSDB advertisement of external routes. Stub areas use a default summary external route (0.0.0.0) to reach external destination.

To configure the OSPF areas for the switch, highlight OSPF Area Setting on the Setup OSPF menu and press Enter.
