Configuring OSPF
11-5
Follow these steps to assign a default metric value for all routes redistributed into
OSPF:
1. Use the router ospf command to enter the OSPF routing process in Global
Configuration mode, as shown below:
MOT(config)#router ospf
2. Use the default-metric command in Router Configuration mode to force a routing
protocol to use the same metric value for all distributed routes from other routing
protocols, as shown below:
MOT(config-ospf)#default-metric <n>
where:
n is the default metric value for all routes that are redistributed into OSPF.
Configuring OSPF Area Parameters
Use the following sections to configure OSPF area parameters:
• Configuring OSPF Area Authentication Parameters
• Configuring OSPF Stub Areas
• Configuring OSPF Not So Stubby Area
• Configuring Route Summarization between OSPF Areas
• Configuring Route Summarization into OSPF Area
Configuring OSPF Area Authentication Parameters
Use the steps and options to define area authentication parameters for your network:
1. Select the OSPF interface on which the OSPF authentication key password must
be configured by using the interface command in Global Configuration mode.
2. Issue the ip ospf authentication-key command in Interface Configuration mode
to assign a password on the routing interface for neighboring OSPF routers to use
on a network segment that uses OSPF simple password authentication, as shown
below:
