Area Settings

To define a dynamic routing configuration:

1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Network.

2. Expand the Network menu to display its submenu options.

3. Expand the Network menu and select OSPF.

4. 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.

   

5. Review existing Area Setting configurations using:

   Area ID	Displays either the IP address or integer representing the OSPF area.
   Authentication Type	Lists the authentication (user validation) types used to validate and authenticate the credentials of the dynamic route connections.
   Type	Lists the OSPF area type in each listed configuration.

6. Select Add to create a new OSPF configuration, Edit to modify an existing configuration or Delete to remove a configuration.
