Summit WM Getting Started Guide, Software Version 5.150
7 In the Area Type drop-down list, click one of the following:
● 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 occurs via a router connected
to the backbone area.
● Stub – Does not receive external routes. External routes are defined as routes, which are
distributed in OSPF via another routing protocol. Therefore, the Stub area relies on a default route
to send traffic routes outside the present domain.
● Not-so-stubby – A type of stub area that can import autonomous system (AS) external routes and
send them to the default/backbone area, but can not receive AS external routes from the
backbone or other areas.

Defining the global OSPF parameters
To define the global OSPF parameters:
1 From the main menu, click Summit Controller. The Summit Controller screen is displayed.
2 In the left pane, click Routing Protocols. The Routing Protocols screen is displayed.
3 Click the OSPF tab.
4 From the Port Status drop-down list, click Enabled. The OSPF is enabled on the port.
NOTE
Only the interfaces defined as router type are available for OSPF neighborhood establishment.
5 In the Link Cost text box, type the OSPF standard for your network for this port.
The Link Cost is the cost of sending a data packet on the interface. The lower the cost, the more
likely the interface will be used to forward the data traffic.
NOTE
If more than one port is enabled for OSPF, you must prevent the Summit WM Controller from serving as a router
for the other traffic. In order to do this, you must set the Link Cost to its maximum value of 65535.
6 From the Authentication drop-down list, click the authentication type of OSPF on your network:
● None: The default is None. If None is selected, leave the Password text box blank.
● Password: If Password is selected, type the password in the Password text box in the.
7 Type the values in the following text boxes.
● Hello-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default). The default setting is 10.
● Dead-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default). The default setting is 40.
● Retransmit-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default). The default setting is
5.
● Transmit Delay – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default). The default setting is 1.

Now you must confirm that the ports are set for OSPF.
