Configuration rules
• Dell PowerConnect devices support a maximum of 676 OSPF interfaces.
• If a router is to operate as an ASBR, you must enable the ASBR capability at the system level.
• Redistribution must be enabled on routers configured to operate as ASBRs.
• All router ports must be assigned to one of the defined areas on an OSPF router. When a port
is assigned to an area, all corresponding subnets on that port are automatically included in the
assignment.
