Web Agent Procedure

To globally configure OSPF using the Web Agent:

1. Select Global Configuration from the System > IP > OSPF group on the Web Agent window. The OSPF Global Configuration dialog box opens (Figure 15-1).

Figure 15-1. OSPF Global Configuration Dialog Box

2. See Table 15-1 to configure the OSPF Global Configuration dialog box parameters:

   Table 15-1. OSPF Global Configuration Dialog Box Parameters

   Parameter	Explanation
   OSPF	Select to enable or disable OSPF globally on your switch.
   Router ID	Specify the Router ID on the switch. The router ID is a 32-bit number assigned to each router running OSPF. This number uniquely identifies the router within an Autonomous System. If 0.0.0.0 is used, the router uses the IP address of an interface.
   AS Border Router	Displays the Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) status. The switch automatically detects the ASBR status: If route redistribution filters are configured for OSPF, the ASBR status is Enable. If all interfaces on the switch are in an OSPF stub area, the ASBR status is Disable, regardless of whether route redistribution filters are configured. For more information on route redistribution filters, see “Configuring Route Redistribution” in Chapter 12, “Configuring IP Routing.”
   SPF Hold Time	Specify the minimum number of seconds between SPF (shortest path first) runs.
   SPF Suspend	Specify the number of nodes to process SPF runs before suspending.
   Auto-Creation of Virtual Links	Enable or disable the function of automating the creation of virtual circuits based on network topology. This feature is Avaya proprietary and only auto creates virtual links on the config. notes.
   Maximum Number of Paths	Configure the maximum number of paths used when running OSPF.
   Local Ext Type	Specify whether imported local routes are advertised in OSPF with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
   RIP Ext Type	Specify whether imported RIP routes are advertised in OSPF with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
   Static Ext Type	Specify whether imported high preference static routes are advertised in OSPF with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
   Static Low Ext Type	Specify whether imported low preference static routes are advertised in OSPF with type 1 (internal) or type 2 (external) metrics.
