Viewing and editing basic OSPF settings
When you configure OSPF settings, you have to define the AS in which OSPF is
enabled and specify which of the FortiGate interfaces participate in the AS. As
part of the AS definition, you specify the AS areas and specify which networks to
include those areas. You may optionally adjust the settings associated with OSPF
operation on the FortiGate interfaces.
To view and edit OSPF settings, go to Router > Dynamic > OSPF.
Figure 108 shows the basic OSPF settings on a FortiGate unit that has an
interface named “port1”. The names of the interfaces on your FortiGate unit may
be different.

ID while OSPF is running.
