Network - OSPF Virtual Interfaces - Basic Configuration tab

19. Within the Properties field, enter a 32 character maximum Description to help differentiate the

virtual interface configuration used with this OSPF route. Enable/disable admin privileges as
need. They’re disabled by default.

20. Use the IP Addresses Area to set how route addresses are created for the virtual configuration.

Zero Configuration can be enabled and set as the Primary or Secondary means of providing IP
addresses for the OSPF virtual route. Zero configuration (or zero config) is a wireless connection
utility included with Microsoft Windows XP and later as a service dynamically selecting a network to
connect based on a user's preferences and various default settings. Zero config can be used
instead of a wireless network utility from the manufacturer of a computer's wireless networking
device. The drivers for the wireless adapter query the NDIS Object IDs and pass the available
network names (SSIDs) to the service. The service then lists them in the user interface on the
Wireless Networks tab in the connection's Properties or in the Wireless Network Connection dialog
box accessible from the notification area. A checked build version of the WZC service can be used
by developers to obtain additional diagnostic and tracing information logged by the service.

21. Select Use DHCP to Obtain IP to use the access point’s DHCP server resource as the means of

providing requested IP addresses to the OSPF route’s virtual interface.

22. Select Use DHCP to Obtain Gateway/DNS Servers to learn the default gateway, name servers,

and domain name on just this interface. Once selected, specify an IP address and mask in
dot-decimal format.

23. Define the NAT Direction as either Inside, Outside or None. Network Address Translation (NAT),

is an Internet standard that enables a Local Area Network (LAN) to use IP addresses for
internal traffic (inside) and a second set of addresses for external (outside) traffic.
