DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

The following parameters can be set or are displayed:

Parameter

Description

OSPF Route 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 Route 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

State

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 or Area 0) to reach external destination.

Figure 7-33. OSPF Area Setting window

Autonomous System Border Router −
displays whether or not the switch is
configured as an AS Border Router.
