the OSPF areas you have configured.

The following table describes the related labels in this screen.
37.5 Configuring OSPF Redistribution
Use this screen to configure route redistribution and summary addresses. Route
redistribution is used when other routers which use RIP routing protocol and/or
static routes need to exchange routing information with the Switch using OSPF
routing protocol. A summary address is used to cover more than one routing
entries in order to reduce the routing table size.
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.
Clear Click Clear to set the above fields back to the factory defaults.
