<Yes>

This field can be toggled between Yes and No using the space bar. It determines whether or not the selected OSPF Area will advertise it’s summary LSDB (Network-Number and Network-Mask) or not.

Route Redistribution Settings

Route redistribution allows routers on the network that are running different routing protocols to exchange routing information. This is accomplished by comparing the routes stored in the various router’s routing tables and assigning appropriate metrics. This information is then exchanged among the various routers according to the individual routers current routing protocol. The DES-3326 can redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to all routers on the network that are running OSPF or RIP. Routing information entered into the Static Routing Table on the local DES-3326 switch is also redistributed.

ParameterDescription

Action:

<Add/Modify>

This field can be toggled using the space bar between Add/Modify and Delete. Add/Modify allows for the creation of a new OSPF Area Aggregation or changes to an existing OSPF Area Aggregation. Delete allows for the deletion of an existing OSPF Area Aggregation.

Source	Allows the selection of the protocol of the source device.
Protocol:[ ]	Available choices are RIP, OSPF, or Static.
Destination	Allows the selection of the protocol of the destination
Protocol:[	] device. Available choices are RIP and OSPF.
Metric Type:[	Allows the selection of one of two methods for calculating
]	the metric value. Type-1calculates the metric (for RIP to
	OSPF) by adding the destination’s interface cost to the
	metric entered in the Metric field. Type-2uses the metric
	entered in the Metric field without change. This field
