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 learnt 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).
