OSPF Control Menu 
OSPF is a router protocol used in larger autonomous system networks in preference to RIP, 
an older routing protocol that is installed in many of today's corporate networks. Using OSPF, 
a host that obtains a change to a routing table or detects a change in the network 
immediately multicasts the information to all other hosts in the network, so that all have the 
same routing table information. Unlike RIP, in which the entire routing table is sent, the host 
using OSPF sends only the part that has changed. With RIP, the routing table is sent to a 
neighbor host at a pre-determined interval. OSPF multicasts the updated information only 
when a change has taken place. 
Using the OSPF Control menu, you can control how the Gateway uses OSPF. You can also 
add more than one OSPF area to the cable interface.  
To access the OSPF Control menu, click Routing in the menu bar and then click the OSPF 
Control 
submenu. Figure 40 shows an example of the menu and Table 15 describes the 
options.
