Setting up OSPF routing on the Sidewinder G2
To configure OSPF properties, start the Admin Console and select Services
Configuration > Routing > Dynamic. Click the OSPF Properties tab, the
following window appears:
The OSPF Properties tab specifies the parameters that affect overall OSPF
function on the Sidewinder G2. Follow the steps below.
1 In the Default Preference field, specify the default preference for selection
of routes learned by OSPF versus other gated routing protocols. The
default is 150. Do not change this field unless directed by Secure
Computing.
2 In the Default Cost field, specify the metric for external routes that OSPF is
going to advertise to the Autonomous System (AS). The default is 1. Do not
change this field unless directed to by Secure Computing.
3 In the Default Tag field, specify the tag OSPF routes for other protocoldependent
filtering. The default tag is 0. Do not change this field unless
directed to by Secure Computing.
4 In the Default Type drop-down list, select whether OSPF will advertise
external routes into the AS as either Type 1 or Type 2 Autonomous System
External routes (ASEs) depending on the value of this field. The default is
1. Do not change this field unless directed to by Secure Computing.
5 In the Default Inherit Metric field, select one of the following:
• Yes: If this field is set to Yes, OSPF will use the metric from the external
route when exporting ASEs rather than using the default cost.
• No: This is the default value. Do not change this field unless directed to
by Secure Computing.
6 In the Export Limit field, specify the throttle rate at which an ASBR
advertises ASEs into the AS. The default is 100 ASEs per interval. Do not
change this field unless directed to by Secure Computing.
7 In the Export Interval field, specify how often an ASBR will advertise ASEs
into the AS. The value specifies seconds, with a default of 1. Do not change
this field unless directed to by Secure Computing.
