xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual OSPF Area Aggregation Settings Area Aggregation allows all of the routing information that may be contained within an area to be aggregated into a summary LSDB advertisement of just the network address and subnet mask. This allows for a reduction in the volume of LSDB advertisement traffic as well as a reduction in the memory overhead in the Switch used to maintain routing tables. Click Configuration > Layer 3 IP Networking > OSPF > OSPF Area Aggregation Settings link to view the current settings. There are no aggregation settings configured by default, so there will not be any listed the first accessing the menu. To add a new OSPF Area Aggregation setting, click the Add button. A new menu (pictured below) appears. To change an existing configuration, click on the hyperlinked Area ID for the set to change. The menu to modify an existing configuration is the same as the menu used to add a new one. To eliminate an existing configuration, click the in the Delete column for the configuration being removed. Figure 6- 147. OSPF Area Aggregation Settings table Use the menu below to change settings or add a new OSPF Area Aggregation setting. Figure 6- 148. OSPF Area Aggregation Settings - Add window Specify the OSPF aggregation settings and click the Apply button to add or change the settings. The new settings will appear listed in the OSPF Area Aggregation Configuration table. To view the table, click the Show All OSPF Aggregation Entries link to return to the previous window. Use the following parameters to configure the following settings for OSPF Area Aggregation: Parameter Description Area ID Allows the entry the OSPF Area ID for which the routing information will be aggregated. This Area ID must be previously defined on the Switch. Network Number Sometimes called the Network Address. The 32-bit number in the form of an IP address that uniquely identifies the network that corresponds to the OSPF Area above. Network Mask The corresponding network mask for the Network Number specified above. LSDB Type Specifies the type of address aggregation, which is set at Summary. Advertisement Select Enabled or Disabled to determine whether the selected OSPF Area will advertise it's summary LSDB (Network-Number and Network-Mask). Click Apply to implement changes made. 185

OSPF Area Aggregation Settings
Area Aggregation allows all of the routing information that may be contained within an area to be aggregated into a
summary LSDB advertisement of just the network address and subnet mask. This allows for a reduction in the volume of
LSDB advertisement traffic as well as a reduction in the memory overhead in the Switch used to maintain routing tables.
