To set OSPF Routing Port Settings on the HiPath Wireless Controller:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless Controller Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless Controller Configuration screen is displayed.
2. In the left pane, click Routing Protocols.
3. Click the OSPF tab.
4. Select a port to configure by clicking on the desired port in the Port Settings
table.
5. In the Port Status drop-down list, click Enabled to enable OSPF on the port.
The default setting is Disabled.
6. In the Link Cost box, type the OSPF standard value for your network for this
port. This is the cost of sending a data packet on the interface. The lower the
cost, the more likely the interface is to be used to forward data traffic.
Note: If more than one port is enabled for OSPF, it is important to prevent the
HiPath Wireless Controller from serving as a router for other network traffic (other
than the traffic from wireless device users on routed topologies controlled by the
HiPath Wireless Controller). For more information, see Section 6.10.2, “About
filtering rules”, on page 352.
7. In the Authentication drop-down list, click the authentication type for OSPF
on your network: None or Password. The default setting is None.
8. If Password is selected as the authentication type, in the Password box,
type the password.
If None is selected as the Authentication type, leave this box empty. This
password must match on either end of the OSPF connection.
9. Type the following:
• Hello-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF
default).The default setting is 10 seconds.
• Dead-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default).
The default setting is 40 seconds.
• Retransmit-Interval – Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF
default). The default setting is 5 seconds.
• Transmit Delay– Specifies the time in seconds (displays OSPF default).
The default setting is 1 second.
