4.6.4.1 OSPF Configuration

Figure 4-6-15

OSPF Configuration

Configurable Data

Router ID

- The 32 bit integer in dotted decimal format that uniquely identifies the router within the autonomous

system (AS). If you want to change the Router ID you must first disable OSPF. After you set the new Router ID, you

must re-enable OSPF to have the change take effect. The default value is 0.0.0.0, although this is not a valid Router

ID.

OSPF Admin Mode*

- Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. If you select enable OSPF will be activated

for the switch. The default value is disable. You must configure a Router ID before OSPF can become operational.

You do this on the IP Configuration page or by issuing the CLI command: config router id.

#

Note

:

Once OSPF is initialized on the router, it will remain initialized until the router is reset.

RFC 1583 Compatibility

- Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu to specify the preference rules that will

be used when choosing among multiple AS-external-LSAs advertising the same destination. If you select enable,

the preference rules will be those defined by RFC 1583. If you select disable, the preference rules will be those

defined in Section 16.4.1 of the OSPF-2 standard (RFC 2328), which will prevent routing loops when

AS-external-LSAs for the same destination have been originated from different areas. The default value is 'enable'.

To prevent routing loops, you should select 'disable', but only if all OSPF routers in the routing domain are capable

of operating according to RFC 2328.
