DESCRIPTION

OSPF Router ID

Select the 32-bit ID the ZyWALL uses in the OSPF AS.

 

Default - the first available interface IP address is the ZyWALL’s ID.

 

User Defined - enter the ID (in IP address format) in the field that appears when

 

you select User Define.

Active RIP

Select this to advertise routes that were learned from RIP. The ZyWALL advertises

 

routes learned from RIP to Normal and NSSA areas but not to Stub areas.

 

 

Type

Select how OSPF calculates the cost associated with routing information from RIP.

 

Choices are: Type 1 and Type 2.

 

Type 1 - cost = OSPF AS cost + external cost (Metric)

 

Type 2 - cost = external cost (Metric); the OSPF AS cost is ignored.

 

 

Metric

Type the external cost for routes provided by RIP. The metric represents the “cost” of

 

transmission for routing purposes. The way this is used depends on the Type field.

 

This value is usually the average cost in the OSPF AS, and it can be between 1 and

 

16777214.

 

 

Active Static Route

Select this to advertise routes that were learned from static routes. The ZyWALL

 

advertises routes learned from static routes to all types of areas.

 

 

Type

Select how OSPF calculates the cost associated with routing information from static

 

routes. Choices are: Type 1 and Type 2.

 

Type 1 - cost = OSPF AS cost + external cost (Metric)

 

Type 2 - cost = external cost (Metric); the OSPF AS cost is ignored.

 

 

Metric

Type the external cost for routes provided by static routes. The metric represents the

 

“cost” of transmission for routing purposes. The way this is used depends on the

 

Type field. This value is usually the average cost in the OSPF AS, and it can be

 

between 1 and 16777214.
