6. Set the following OSPF Overload Protection settings:

7. Set the following Default Information:

8. Refer to the Route Redistribution table to set the types of routes that can be used by OSPF.

Select the + Add Row button to populate the table. Set the Route Type used to define the
redistributed route. Options include connected, kernal and static.

Select the Metric Type option to define the exterior metric type (1 or 2) used with the route
redistribution. Select the Metric option to define route metric used with the redistributed route.

9. Use the OSPF Network table to define networks (IP addresses) to connect using dynamic

routes.

Select the + Add Row button to populate the table. Add the IP address and mask of the
Network(s) participating in OSPF. Additionally, define the OSPF area (IP address) to which the
network belongs.

10. Set an OSPF Default Route Priority (1 - 8,000) as the priority of the default route learnt from

OSPF. The default setting is 7,000.

11. Select the Area Settings tab.

An OSPF Area contains a set of routers exchanging Link State Advertisements (LSAs) with
others in the same area. Areas limit LSAs and encourage aggregate routes.

VRRP State Check

Select this option to use OSPF only if the VRRP interface is not in a backup state. The
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
(VRRP) provides automatic assignments of
available Internet Protocol (IP) routers to participating hosts. This increases the
availability and reliability of routing paths via automatic default gateway selections on
an IP subnetwork. This setting is enabled by default.

Number of Routes

Use the spinner control to set the maximum number of OSPN routes permitted. The
available range is from 1 - 4,294,967,295.

Retry Count

Set the maximum number of retries (OSPF resets) permitted before the OSPF process
is shut down. The available range is from 1 - 32. The default setting is 5.

Retry Time Out

Set the duration (in seconds) the OSPF process remains off before initiating its next
retry. The available range is from 1 - 3,600 seconds. The default is 60 seconds.

Reset Time

Set the reset time (in seconds) that, when exceeded, changes the retry count is zero.
The available range is from 1 - 86,400. The default is 360 seconds.

Originate

Select this option to make the default route a distributed route. This setting is
disabled by default.

Always

Enabling this settings continuously maintains a default route, even when no routes
appear in the routing table. This setting is disabled by default.

Metric Type

Select this option to define the exterior metric type (1 or 2) used with the default
route.

Route Metric

Select this option to define route metric used with the default route. OSPF uses path
cost as its routing metric. It’s defined by the speed (bandwidth) of the interface
supporting given route.
