169. LMS OSPF System Parameter Panel

This panel allows you to display and configure the system-wide OSPF parameters.

Area Border Router

This parameter is a read-only parameter and tells you if the router is an Area Border router.

Router ID

This is the IP address that uniquely identifies this router. It can be any valid IP address assigned to an interface on this module. The router ID will determine the designated router on a broadcast link if the priority values of the routers being considered are equal. The higher the router ID, the greater its priority.

TOS Support

This parameter specifies if the Type Of Service (TOS) routing is enabled on this module.

Admin Status

This parameter allows you to enable/disable OSPF routing throughout the module. If OSPF is disabled on this panel, then it is disabled on each port.

AS Boundary Router

If this router is an AS Boundary router, set this parameter to true. A router can be an AS boundary router if one or more of its interfaces is connected to a non-OSPF network (for example RIP).
