● Define the global OSPF parameters. For more information, see “Defining the global OSPF
parameters” on page 50.
Ensure that the OSPF parameters defined for the Summit WM Controller are consistent with the
adjacent routers in the OSPF area. The consistency includes the following:
● Timer Settings – If the peer router has different timer settings, the protocol timer settings in the
Summit WM Controller must be changed to the peer router to match in order to achieve OSPF
adjacency.
● MTU – The MTU of the ports on either sides of the OSPF link must match. You must remember
here that the MTU for ports is set to 1500 on the Summit WM Controller is when configuring the
physical data ports on IP addresses’ screen. The value of 1500 matches the MTU in standard
routers.
