D-Link DXS-3326GSR - OSPF Area Aggregation Settings

DXS-3326GSR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
NOTE: For OSPF to function properly some settings should be identical
on all participating OSPF devices. These settings include the Hello Interval
and Dead Interval. For networks using authorization for OSPF devices,
they Authorization Type and Password or Key used must likewise be
identical.
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 the 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 window (pictured below) appears. To change an existing configuration, click on the hyperlinked
Area ID for the set you want to change. The window to modify an existing configuration is the same as the one used to add
a new configuration. To eliminate an existing configuration, click the
in the Delete column for the configuration being
removed.
