OSPF Settings
Select this option to configure the parameters for the Open Shortest Path First
(OSPF) protocol. The OSPF Protocol is a dynamic routing protocol that detects
topological changes in the AS and calculates new loop-free routes after a short
period of convergence with minimal routing traffic.
Configure at least one of the IP router interfaces for OSPF routing protocol. This is
performed from the Routing Protocol menu.
OSPF SETTINGS ( Device name - FCD-IPM )
1. OSPF routing status [Enable ]
2. Router ID : 209.227.164.065
3. Redistribute routes from [Static only ]
4. Interfaces area ID
5. Advanced interfaces setup
6. Areas setup
7. Summarization setup

Parameters Possible Values Description
OSPF Enable
Disable
Enables or disables the OSPF option
Router ID Configure router ID. According to RFC-2328 it
is often set to be equal to the smallest IP
address of router interfaces. We require
configuring it explicitly, because changing its
value must restart OSPF software. The better
way is to change it together with enabling OSPF
Redistribute
routes from
Nothing
Static Only
RIP Only
Static & RIP
Interfaces area
ID
Configures the area ID for OSPF interfaces. It
has the same logic as link routing protocol
