32.6 Configuring OSPF Interfaces

To configure an OSPF interface, first create an IP routing domain in the IP Setup
screen (see

Section 8.6 on page 87

for more information). Once you create an IP

routing domain, an OSPF interface entry is automatically created. See

Section

32.1 on page 285

for more information on OSPF.

In the OSPF Configuration screen, click Interface to display the OSPF
Interface
screen.

Summary
address

Enter a network IP address which can cover more than one network in
order to reduce the routing table size. For example, you can use
192.168.8.0/22 instead of using 192.168.8.0/24, 192.168.9.0/24,
192.168.10.0/24, and 192.168.11.0/24.

The third octet of these four network IP addresses is 00001000, 00001001,
00001010, 00001011 respectively. The first 6 digits (000010) are the
common part among these IP addresses. So 192.168.8.0/22 can represent
all of these networks.

Subnet
mask

Enter the subnet mask for this summary IP address which can cover
multiple networks.

Add

Click Add to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
