NETGEAR M4350-24F4V 24-Port 10G SFP+ Managed AV Network Switch - Manual (Page 469)

Add an OSPF area range
You add an OSPF area range by setting an area ID with an address range (an IP address
with a subnet mask). You then also set the LSAs that are associated with the area and
whether the address range is advertised outside the area.
You can associate an OSPF area range with a common area (see Add or delete an OSPF
common area ID on page 464), stub area (see Add an OSPF stub area on page 465), or
NSSA area (see Add an OSPF NSSA area on page 467).
To add an OSPF area range:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser on page 27 and the subsections.
The login page displays.
3. Click the Main UI Login button.
The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Routing > OSPF > Advanced > Area Range Configuration.
The OSPF Area Range Configuration page displays.
6. In the Area ID field, enter an OSPF area ID.
An area ID is a 32-bit integer in dotted-decimal format that identifies the area to
which a switch interface connects.
7. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address for the address range.
8. In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask for the address range.
9. From the LSDB Type menu, select the type of link state advertisements (LSAs) that
must be associated with the area ID and address range.
• Network Summary: The switch generates Network Summary LSAs (Type 3 LSAs)
for the area. This is the default setting.
• NSSA External: The switch generates NSSA External LSAs (Type 7 LSAs) for the
area. These types of LSAs provide more information.
10. From the Advertise menu, select if the address range is advertised outside the area:
