XGS-4526/4528F/4728F User’s Guide

The bottom of the OSPF Configuration screen displays a summary table of all 
the OSPF areas you have configured. 

Figure 164   IP Application > OSPF Configuration: Summary Table 

The following table describes the related labels in this screen.

Use this screen to configure route redistribution and summary addresses. Route 
redistribution is used when other routers which use RIP routing protocol and/or 
static routes need to exchange routing information with the Switch using OSPF 
routing protocol. A summary address is used to cover more than one routing 
entries in order to reduce the routing table size.

Add

Click Add to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The 
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the 
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.

Cancel
