4.5.5. Setting Up OSPF Chapter 4. Routing OffsetMetric Limit Metric To regard external routes as type 1 OSPF routes. Type 2 is the most significant cost of a route. Increases the metric of an imported route by this value. Limits the metrics for these routes to a minimum and maximum value. If a route has a higher or lower value than specified then it will be set to the specified value. 4.5.4.4. Routing Action A Routing Action is used to manipulate and export routing changes to one or more local routing tables. Destination Specifies into which routing table the route changes to the OSPF AS should be imported. Offset Metric Increases the metric by this value. Offset Metric Type 2 Increases the Type 2 router's metric by this value. Limit Metric To Limits the metrics for these routes to a minimum and maximum value. If a route has a higher value than specified then it will be set to the specified value. Static Route Override Allows the override of the static routes. Default Route Override Allows the override of the default route. 4.5.5. Setting Up OSPF Setting up OSPF can seem complicated because of the large number of configuration possibilities that OSPF offers. However, in many cases a simple OSPF solution using a minimum of NetDefendOS objects is needed and setup can be straightforward. Let us examine again the simple scenario described earlier with just two NetDefend Firewalls. In this example we connect together the two NetDefend Firewalls with OSPF so they can share the routes in their routing tables. Both will be inside a single OSPF area which will be part of a single OSPF autonomous system (AS). If unfamiliar with these OSPF concepts, please refer to earlier sections for further explanation. Beginning with just one of these firewalls, the NetDefendOS setup steps are as follows: 1. Create an OSPF Router object Create a NetDefendOS OSPF Router Process object. This will represent an OSPF Autonomous Area (AS) which is the highest level in the OSPF hierarchy. Give the object an appropriate name. The Router ID can be left blank since this will be assigned automatically by NetDefendOS. 2. Add an OSPF Area to the OSPF Router Within the OSPF Router Process created in the previous step, add a new OSPF Area object. Assign an appropriate name and use the value 0.0.0.0 for the Area ID. An AS can have multiple areas but in many cases only one is needed. The ID 0.0.0.0 identifies this area as the backbone area which forms the central portion of the AS. 3. Add OSPF Interfaces to the OSPF Area Within the OSPF Area created in the previous step, add a new OSPF Interface for each physical 213
