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:
