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:

1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or the CLI configuration editor.
2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 68.
3. Go on to Configuring a Single-Area OSPF Network (Required).
