ADMINISTERING OSPF ROUTING
This chapter describes how to set up your CoreBuilder
™
2500
system to
use the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol to route packets.
Use this chapter to perform the following tasks:
■ Administering Areas
■ Setting the Default Route Metric
■ Configuring OSPF Interfaces
■ Displaying the Link State Database
■ Administering Neighbors
■ Setting OSPF Router IDs
■ Administering Memory Partitions
■ Administering Stub Default Metrics
■ Administering Virtual Links
■ Displaying OSPF Statistics
For more information about how OSPF works, see Chapter 7 “Routing
with OSPF.”
Administering
Areas
An OSPF area is a logical, user-defined group of networks, hosts, and
directly attached routers that use a common copy of the OSPF routing
algorithm. Different areas run individual copies of the OSPF algorithm and
maintain unique routing databases.
With the commands in this section, you define, remove, and modify areas
as well as display existing areas. After you define an area with the
define
command, you add network segments and interfaces to the area with the
area
addRange command and the interface areaID command.
