Table 88 IP Application > OSPF Configuration: Activating and General Settings LABEL DESCRIPTION Active OSPF is disabled by default. Select this option to enable it. Router ID Router ID uniquely identifies the Switch in an OSPF. Enter a unique ID (that uses the format of an IP address in dotted decimal notation) for the Switch. Redistribute Route redistribution allows your Switch to import and translate external routes learned Route through other routing protocols (RIP and Static) into the OSPF network transparently. Active Select this option to activate route redistribution for routes learn through the selected protocol. Type Select 1 for routing protocols (such as RIP) whose external metrics are directly comparable to the internal OSPF cost. When selecting a path, the internal OSPF cost is added to the AB boundary router to the external metrics. Select 2 for routing protocols whose external metrics are not comparable to the OSPF cost. In this case, the external cost of the AB boundary router is used in path decision to a destination. Metric Value Enter a route cost (between 0 and 16777214). The default Metric Value is 15. Apply Click Apply 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. 240 ES-4124 User's Guide
