Table 57 OSPF Configuration: Activating and General Settings
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
|
|
Active | OSPF is disabled by default. Select this option to enable it. |
|
|
Router ID | Router ID uniquely identifies the switch in an OSPF. Enter a unique ID (that uses the |
| format of an IP address in dotted decimal notation) for the switch. |
Redistribute | Route redistribution allows your switch to import and translate external routes learned |
Route | through other routing protocols (RIP and Static) into the OSPF network transparently. |
Active | Select this option to activate route redistribution for routes learn through the selected |
| protocol. |
Type | Select 1 for routing protocols (such as RIP) whose external metrics are directly |
| comparable to the internal OSPF cost. When selecting a path, the internal OSPF cost is |
| added to the AB boundary router to the external metrics. |
| Select 2 for routing protocols whose external metrics are not comparable to the OSPF |
| cost. In this case, the external cost of the AB boundary router is used in path decision to |
| a destination. |
Metric Value | Enter a route cost (between 0 and 16777214). |
