Configuring an OSPF Network with Quick Configuration

Router Identifier (required)

Uniquely identifies the router.

Type the Services Router's 32-bit IP address, in dotted decimal notation.

Enable OSPF

Enables or disables OSPF.

• To enable OSPF, select the check box.
• To disable OSPF, clear the check box.

OSPF Area ID

Uniquely identifies the area within its AS.

Type a 32-bit numeric identifier for the area, or an integer.

If you enter an integer, the value is converted to a 32-bit equivalent. For example, if you enter 3, the value assigned to the area is 0.0.0.3.

Area Type

Designates the type of OSPF area.

From the list, select the type of OSPF area you are creating:

• regular—A regular OSPF area, including the backbone area
• stub—A stub area
• nssa—A not-so-stubby area (NSSA)

OSPF-Enabled Interfaces

Designates one or more Services Router interfaces on which OSPF is enabled.

For information about interface names, see Network Interface Naming.

The first time you configure OSPF, the Logical Interfaces box displays a list of all the logical interfaces configured on the Services Router. Do any of the following:

• To enable OSPF on an interface, click the interface name to highlight it, and click the left arrow to add the interface to the OSPF interfaces list.
• To enable OSPF on multiple interfaces at once, press Ctrl while you click multiple interface names to highlight them. Then click the left arrow to add the interfaces to the OSPF interfaces list.
• To enable OSPF on all logical interfaces except the special fxp0 management interface, select All Interfaces in the Logical Interfaces list and click the left arrow.
• To enable OSPF on all the interfaces displayed in the Logical Interfaces list, click All to highlight every interface. Then click the left arrow to add the interfaces to the OSPF interfaces list.
• To disable OSPF on one or more interfaces, highlight the interface or interfaces in the OSPF interfaces box and click the right arrow to move them back to the Logical Interfaces list.
