Parameter Description
OSPF Protocol Enables OSPF on all interfaces.
Router ID Assigns a unique ID to the router for use by the OSPF protocol. It must be one of the
router's IP addresses.
AS Boundary Router An Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) can convert external routes into
OSPF routes. Which external routes is determined through the following parameters.
In the figure, only Router 5 is an ASBR.
The following parameters apply only to Autonomous System Boundary Routers.
Originate Default
Gateway
Advertisement
Router will advertise itself as the Default Gateway (DG).
Default Gateway
External Metric Applies when Originate Default Gateway Advertisement is set to Yes. Defines the
metric that will be advertised by OSPF.
Default Gateway
External Metric-Type Applies when Originate Default Gateway Advertisement is set to Yes. For Type 1, the
total metric of this route is composed of the internal metric (inside the autonomous
system) and the external metric (provided in the previous parameter). For
Type 2, the
total metric of this route is the value provided in the previous parameter.
Advertise RIP Routes Routes learned through the RIP protocol will be converted to OSPF as external routes.
RIP External Metric
Applies when Advertise RIP routes is set to Yes. Defines the metric that will be
advertised by OSPF.
