OSPF Settings
|
Router ID |
IP address or 32-bit decimal ID number that identifies this OSPF router. The Ether0 address of the PortMaster appears in this field by default---or is used if you enter the address 0.0.0.0 or the router ID 0 here. The default setting is strongly recommended. |
|
CAUTION! Be careful when creating a router ID. In the ID creation process, the links belonging to an old router ID take as long as 1 hour to expire. Routing instability can result during the expiration period. |
|
|
Priority |
Number between 0 and 255 that identifies this router as the designated router or a backup router in the OSPF area it belongs to. A priority of 0 (the default) means that this router cannot be used as the designated router at any time. You must assign one of the routers in this area as the designated router. |
