8.10.2 Configuration
This dialog allows you to specify the following settings:
the manner in which the device calculates the path costs
how OSPF handles default routes
the type of route OSPF uses for the path-cost calculation
RFC 1583 Compatibility
The Network Working Group is continually developing the OSPF function
improving and adding parameters. This router provides parameters in
accordance with RFC 2328. With parameters in this dialog, you make the
router compatible with routers developed under RFC 1583. Activating the
compatibility function allows you to install this device in a network
containing routers developed under RFC 1583.
Preferences
The preferences in this dialog are metrics values which the device uses
as a tie breaker between identical routes with different distance types. For
example, when a route is inside the local area (intra-area) and the other
is outside the local area (inter-area or external). If the metric values are
the same for intra, inter and external, then the order of preference is intra,
inter then external.
Parameters Meaning
RFC 1583
Compatibility
Enables/disabled the device to be compatible with routers developed
under RFC 1583.
In order to minimize the chance of routing loops, set this function to the
same value on the OSPF enables routers in an OSPF domain.
Possible values:
"On" (default setting)
Enable the function when, routers are present in the domain without
software containing the external path preference functionality
described in RFC 2328.
"Off"
Disable the function when, every router present in the domain has
software containing the external path preference functionality
described in RFC 2328.
