Open Shortest Path First Protocol (OSPF) An Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)
used to distribute routing information within a single Autonomous System (for more
information, refer to the protocol's RFC at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2328.txt).
The feature's routing engine is based on the Quagga GNU routing software pack-
age. By using the BGP and OSPF protocols, this routing engine enables Watson to
exchange routing information with other routers within and outside an Autonomous
System. To enable this feature, perform the following:
1. In the 'Routing' screen, click the 'BGP and OSPF' link. The 'BGP and OSPF'
screen appears.

Note: Depending on its purpose of use, Watson may support both of the protocols or
only one of them.
2. Select the 'Enabled' check box of the supported protocol(s). For example, enable
OSPF. The screen refreshes, changing to the following.
