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.

Note Configure at least one of the IP router interfaces for OSPF routing protocol. This is performed from the Routing Protocol menu.

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

Interfaces area

 

Configures the area ID for OSPF interfaces. It

ID

 

has the same logic as link routing protocol
