Chapter 33 OSPF

Table 100 IP Application > OSPF Configuration > Redistribute (continued)

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

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). The default metric value is

 

15.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

Summary

Enter a network IP address which can cover more than one network in

address

order to reduce the routing table size. For example, you can use

 

192.168.8.0/22 instead of using 192.168.8.0/24, 192.168.9.0/24,

 

192.168.10.0/24, and 192.168.11.0/24.

 

The third octet of these four network IP addresses is 00001000, 00001001,

 

00001010, 00001011 respectively. The first 6 digits (000010) are the

 

common part among these IP addresses. So 192.168.8.0/22 can represent

 

all of these networks.

 

 

Subnet

Enter the subnet mask for this summary IP address which can cover

mask

multiple networks.

 

 

Add

Click Add to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

 

 

33.6 Configuring OSPF Interfaces

To configure an OSPF interface, first create an IP routing domain in the IP Setup screen (see Section 8.6 on page 86 for more information). Once you create an IP routing domain, an OSPF interface entry is automatically created. See Section 33.1 on page 277 for more information on OSPF.
