Configuring Global Settings for OSPF
To implement OSPF for a large network, you must first organize the network into logical
areas to limit the number of OSPF routers that actively exchange Link State
Advertisements (LSAs). You can then define an OSPF interface by assigning an IP
interface configured on this switch to one of these groups. This OSPF interface will send
and receive OSPF traffic to neighboring OSPF routers.
You can further optimize the exchange of OSPF traffic by specifying an area range that
covers a large number of subnetwork addresses. This is an important technique for
limiting the amount of traffic exchanged between Area Border Routers (ABRs).
And finally, you must specify a virtual link to any OSPF area that is not physically
attached to the OSPF backbone. Virtual links can also be used to provide a redundant
link between contiguous areas to prevent areas from being partitioned, or to merge
backbone areas.
The following menu provides all the global configuration options for OSPF:
