7 From the Area Type drop-down list, select one of the following:
● Default – The default acts as the backbone area (also known as area zero). It forms the core of an
OSPF network. All other areas are connected to it, and inter-area routing happens via a router
connected to the backbone area.
● Stub – The stub area does not receive external routes. External routes are defined as routes which
were distributed in OSPF via another routing protocol. Therefor, stub areas typically rely on a
default route to send traffic routes outside the present domain.
● Not-so-stubby – The not-so-stubby area is a type of stub area that can import autonomous
system (AS) external routes and send them to the default/backbone area, but cannot receive AS
external routes from the backbone or other areas.

To set OSPF Routing Port Settings on the Summit WM series switch:
1 From the main menu, click Summit Switch Configuration. The Summit WM series switch
Configuration screen is displayed.
2 In the left pane, click Routing Protocols.
3 Click the OSPF tab. The OSPF Settings screen is displayed.
4 From the Port Status drop-down list, select Enabled to enable OSPF on the port. The default setting
is Disabled.
5 In the Link Cost box, type the OSPF standard 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 Summit WM series switch from serving
as a router for other network traffic (other than the traffic from wireless device users controlled by the Summit
WM series switch). To ensure that the Summit WM series switch is never the preferred OSPF route, set the Link
Cost to its maximum value of 65535. Filters should also be defined that will drop routed packets. For more
information, see “Configuring filtering rules for a WM-AD” on page 123.
6 From the Authentication drop-down list, select the authentication type for OSPF on your network:
None or Password. The default setting is None.
7 If Password was selected as the authentication type, in the Password box, type the password. If
None was selected as the Authentication type, leave this box blank. This password must match on
either end of the OSPF connection.
8 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.
