This field can be toggled between Yes and No using the
space bar. It determines whether or not the selected OSPF
Area will advertise it’s summary LSDB (Network-Number
and Network-Mask) or not.

Route Redistribution Settings

Route redistribution allows routers on the network that are running different routing protocols to
exchange routing information. This is accomplished by comparing the routes stored in the various
router’s routing tables and assigning appropriate metrics. This information is then exchanged among
the various routers according to the individual routers current routing protocol. The DES-3326 can
redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to all routers on the
network that are running OSPF or RIP. Routing information entered into the Static Routing Table on
the local DES-3326 switch is also redistributed.

Parameter

Description

Action:

<Add/Modify>

This field can be toggled using the space bar between
Add/Modify and Delete. Add/Modify allows for the creation
of a new OSPF Area Aggregation or changes to an existing
OSPF Area Aggregation. Delete allows for the deletion of an
existing OSPF Area Aggregation.

Source

Protocol:[ ]

Allows the selection of the protocol of the source device.
Available choices are RIP, OSPF, or Static.

Destination

Protocol:[ ]

Allows the selection of the protocol of the destination
device. Available choices are RIP and OSPF.

Metric Type:[

]

Allows the selection of one of two methods for calculating
the metric value. Type-1 calculates the metric (for RIP to
OSPF) by adding the destination’s interface cost to the
metric entered in the Metric field. Type-2 uses the metric
entered in the Metric field without change. This field
