9. Use the OSPF Network table to define networks (IP addresses) to connect using dynamic routes.
Select the + Add Row button to populate the table. Add the IP address and mask of the Network(s) participating in OSPF.
Additionally, define the OSPF area (IP address) to which the network belongs.
10. Set an OSPF Default Route Priority (1 - 8,000) as the priority of the default route learnt from OSPF.
11. Select the Area Settings tab.
An OSPF Area contains a set of routers exchanging Link State Advertisements (LSAs) with others in the same area. Areas
limit LSAs and encourage aggregate routes.
VRRP State Check Select this option to enable checking VRRP state. If the interface’s VRRP state is not
Backup, then the interface is published via OSPF.
Number of Routes Use the spinner controller to set the maximum number of OSPN routes permitted. The
available range is from 1 - 4,294,967,295.
Retry Count Set the maximum number of retries (OSPF resets) permitted before the OSPF process is
shut down. The available range is from 1 - 32. The default setting is 5.
Retry Time Out Set the duration (in seconds) the OSPF process remains off before initiating its next
retry. The available range is from 1 - 3,600 seconds. The default is 60 seconds.
Reset Time Set the reset time (in seconds) that, when exceeded, changes the retry count is zero.
The available range is from 1 - 86,400. The default is 360 seconds.

Metric Type Select this option to define the exterior metric type (1 or 2) used with the default route.
Route Metric Select this option to define route metric used with the default route. OSPF uses path
cost as its routing metric. It’s defined by the speed (bandwidth) of the interface
supporting a given route.
