Table 87 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
Route redistribution allows your Switch to import and translate external routes learned
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).
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 start configuring the above fields again.
