Configuring the Summit WM Controller
Summit WM20 User Guide, Software Release 4.248
To set OSPF Routing Global Settings on the Summit WM Controller:
1 From the main menu, click Summit Switch Configuration. The Summit WM Controller
Configuration screen is displayed.
2 In the left pane, click Routing Protocols. The Static Routes tab is displayed.
3 Click the OSPF tab.
4 From the OSPF Status drop-down list, select ON to enable OSPF.
5 In the Router ID box, type the IP address of the Summit WM Controller. This ID must be unique
across the OSPF area. If left blank, the OSPF daemon automatically picks a router ID from one of the
Summit WM Controller’s interface IP addresses.
6 In the Area ID box, type the area. 0.0.0.0 is the main area in OSPF.
7 From the Area Type drop-down list, select one of the following:
● Default – The default acts as the backbone area (also known as area zero). It forms the core of an
OSPF network. All other areas are connected to it, and inter-area routing happens via a router
connected to the backbone area.
● Stub – The stub area does not receive external routes. External routes are defined as routes which
were distributed in OSPF via another routing protocol. Therefor, stub areas typically rely on a
default route to send traffic routes outside the present domain.
● Not-so-stubby – The not-so-stubby area is a type of stub area that can import autonomous
system (AS) external routes and send them to the default/backbone area, but cannot receive AS
external routes from the backbone or other areas.
