Configuring the Router Identifier (Required)

The router identifier is the IP address that uniquely identifies the J-series Services Router.

OSPF uses the router identifier to elect a designated router, unless you manually specify a priority value. When the OSPF network first becomes active, by default, the router with the highest router identifier is elected the designated router.

To configure the router identifier for the Services Router:

Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or the CLI configuration editor.
Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 67.
Go on to Configuring a Single-Area OSPF Network (Required).

Table 67: Configuring the Router Identifier

Navigate to the Routing-options level in the configuration hierarchy.

In the configuration editor hierarchy, select Routing-options.

From the top of the configuration hierarchy, enter

edit routing-options

Enter the router ID value.

In the Router Id box, type the IP address of the Services Router, in dotted decimal notation.

Set the router-id value to the IP address of the Services Router, in dotted decimal notation. For example:

set router-id 177.162.4.24

Apply your configuration changes.

Click OK to apply your entries to the configuration.

Changes in the CLI are applied automatically when you execute the set command.
