DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
OSPF Router
ID:[ ]
A 32-bit number (in the form of an IP address −
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that uniquely identifies the switch in the
OSPF domain. It is common to assign the highest IP
address assigned to the switch (router). In this case, it
would be 10.255.255.255, but any unique 32-bit number
will do. If 0.0.0.0 is entered, the highest IP address
assigned to the switch will become the OSPF Route ID.
Current Router
ID:[ ]
Displays the OSPF Route ID currently in use by the switch.
This Route ID is displayed as a convenience to the user
when changing the switch’s OSPF Route ID.
AS Border Router
Autonomous System Border Router − displays whether or
not the switch is configured as an AS Border Router.
State:<Disabled>
Allows OSPF to be enabled or disabled globally on the
switch without changing the OSPF configuration.
OSPF Area Setting
This menu allows the configuration of OSPF Area IDs and to designate these areas as either Normal or
Stub. Normal OSPF areas allow Link-State Database (LSDB) advertisements of routes to networks that
are external to the area. Stub areas do not allow the LSDB advertisement of external routes. Stub
areas use a default summary external route (0.0.0.0) to reach external destination.
To configure the OSPF areas for the switch, highlight OSPF Area Setting on the Setup OSPF menu
and press Enter.
