Configuring the Summit 200 using ExtremeWare Vista
Summit 200 Series Switch Installation and User Guide 255
•Enable or disable the exporting of RIP, static, and direct (interface) routes to OSPF. Be sure you
disable exporting of static and RIP before setting other global OSPF parameters.
•Enable or disable the exporting of static, direct, and OSPF-learned routes into a RIP domain.
•Set the route type as external type 1 or external type 2.
•Set the cost metric for all RIP-learned, static, and direct routes injected into OSPF. If the cost metric is
set to 0, the cost is inserted from the route.
•Set a tag value for use by special routing applications. Use 0 if you do not have specific requirements
for using a tag. The tag value in this instance has no relationship with 802.1Q VLAN tagging.
•Set the OSPF router ID to a user-specified value or to automatic.
•Enable or disable OSPF.

Create or Delete an OSPF Area
Below the global OSPF parameters is a section dedicated to creating or deleting OSPF areas. Before you
configure an area, you must create it. Enter an area ID in the same format as an IP address, (for
example, 1.2.3.4).
This portion of the window is also shown in Figure 47. For further details see“Backbone Area (Area
0.0.0.0)” on page 212.
