3.2.6 Setting up OSPF Routing
To enable OSPF (OSPF RFC2328) routing, you must:
• Define one data port as a router port in the IP Addresses page
• Enable OSPF globally on the HiPath Wireless Controller
• Define the global OSPF parameters
• Enable (or disable) OSPF on the port that you defined as a router port
Ensure that the OSPF parameters defined here for the HiPath Wireless Controller
are consistent with the adjacent routers in the OSPF area. This consistency
includes the following:
• If the peer router has different timer settings, the protocol timer settings in the
HiPath Wireless Controller must be changed to match, in order to achieve
OSPF adjacency.
• The MTU of the ports on either end of an OSPF link must match. The MTU
for ports on the HiPath Wireless Controller is defined as 1500, on the IP
Addresses page, during data port setup. This matches the default MTU in
standard routers.
To set OSPF Routing Global Settings on the HiPath Wireless Controller:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless Controller Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless Controller Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane, click Routing Protocols. The Static Routes tab is displayed.
3. Click the OSPF tab.
