Configure==>OSPF Areas
To view, create, or edit OSPF area settings on an active PortMaster, click OSPF Areas.
In the current implementation of OSPF on a PortMaster, an OSPF area is a contiguous set of routers that share network segments between them. All routers must have at least one interface in area 0.0.0.0, known as the backbone area. Use area 0.0.0.0 if you have only one OSPF area.
You must set one or more ranges of network addresses that define each OSPF area. You can set a maximum of eight ranges for each OSPF area. You can also set the type of OSPF route propagation.
To add an area, click Add and designate the area in dotted decimal notation. Click OK to save.
To modify an area, select it in the diplay and click Edit.
