Configuring the OSPF Global Configuration
The OSPF global configuration allows you to globally configure OSPF on your switch. It
also allows you to specify your router ID and whether or not you want the switch to be
the Autonomous System (AS) border router.
To globally configure OSPF:
1. In the OSPF Configuration section of the Web Agent window, click Global
Configuration. The OSPF Global Configuration dialog box opens.
2. Use Table 9-1 to configure your global setup:
3. Click APPLY to save changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings.
Table 9-1. OSPF Global Configuration Parameters
Parameter
Allows you to...
OSPF
Select to enable or disable OSPF globally on your switch.
Router ID
Specify the Router ID on the switch. The router ID is a 32-bit
number assigned to each router running the OSPF protocol. This
number uniquely identifies the router within an Autonomous
System. If 0.0.0.0 is used, the router uses the IP address of an
interface.
AS Border Router
Enable or disable the switch to be an Autonomous System
Border Router (ASBR).
SPF Hold Time
Specify the minimum number of seconds between SPF runs.
SPF Suspend
Specify the number of nodes to process SPF runs before
suspending.
Auto-Creation of
Virtual Links
Enable or disable the function of automating the creation of
virtual circuits based on network topology.
Maximum Number of
Paths
Configure the maximum number of paths used when running
SPF.

Specify whether imported local routes will be advertised in OSPF
with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
RIP Ext Type
Specify whether imported RIP routes will be advertised in OSPF
with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
Static Ext Type
Specify whether imported high preference routes will be
advertised in OSPF with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external)
metrics.
Static Low Ext Type
