4.6.4.3. OSPF Action
This object defines an OSPF action.
General Parameters

4.6.5. Setting Up OSPF
Setting up OSPF can seem complicated because of the large number of configuration
possibilities that OSPF offers. However, in many cases a simple OSPF solution using a minimum
of cOS Core objects is needed and setup can be straightforward.
Let us examine again the simple scenario described earlier with just two Clavister Security
Gateways.
