OSPF and BGP
The appliance supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
routing standards and their associated configurations. An administrator can add, edit and delete
OSPF and BGPnetworks.
OSPF
In order to use OSPF, an administrator must first configure the appliance ID, interfaces and
networks settings. By default, OSPFspeaks to all interfaces on the appliance. An administrator
cannot add an interface but may change the status of an existing interface.
An administrator is able to add a network for the appliance to give and receive information from
other OSPF nodes within the network. When adding a network, it must be unique to the appliance.
The network value is in CIDRformat of an IPaddress/netmask, for example:10.12.1.0/24.
To configure OSPF:
1. From the sidebar, click Network Settings - OSPF.
2. Check the box to enable OSPF.
NOTE: When OSPFis enabled or disabled, an alert will be sent to the alert manager.
3. Enter the appliance ID, then click Apply. The appliance IDshould be an IPaddress, but it can
be any arbitrary 32-bit number. The appliance IDmust be unique within the entire
OSPFdomain.
4. Use the drop-down menus to set the Interfaces to either Active or Passive. OSPFwill not
speak to any interface set to Passive.
5. To add a network, enter the address for the network and its area, then click Add.
