Override OSPF VLAN IPv4 Settings

About this task

IPv4 is a connectionless protocol. It operates on a best effort delivery model that does not guarantee delivery or assures proper sequencing or avoidance of duplicate delivery (unlike TCP).

To set the VLAN IPv4 settings:

Procedure

  1. Select the IPv4 tab.
    The OSPF VLAN interface IPv4 configuration screen displays.
    Click to expand in new window
    OSPF - VLAN Interface - IPv4 Configuration Screen
  2. Set the following network information from within the IPv4 Addresses field:
    Enable Zero Configuration Zero configuration can provide a primary or secondary IP addresses for the virtual interface. Zero configuration (or zero config) is a wireless connection utility included with Microsoft Windows XP and later as a service dynamically selecting a network to connect based on a user's preferences and various default settings. Zero config can be used instead of a wireless network utility from the manufacturer of a computer's wireless networking device. This value is set to None by default.
    Primary IP Address Define the IP address for the VLAN associated Virtual Interface.
    Use DHCP to Obtain IP Select this option to allow DHCP to provide the IP address for the Virtual Interface. Selecting this option disables the Primary IP address field.
    Use DHCP to obtain Gateway/DNS Servers Select this option to allow DHCP to obtain a default gateway address and DNS resource for one virtual interface. This setting is disabled by default and only available when the Use DHCP to Obtain IP option is selected.
    Secondary Addresses Use this parameter to define additional IP addresses to associate with VLAN IDs. The address provided in this field is used if the primary IP address is unreachable.
  3. Select OK to save the changes.
    Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
