Configuring OSPF in WebUI

Starting from R81.10.05, you can configure Advanced Routing in the Quantum Spark WebUI.

Note - Gaia Embedded does not have CLI commands for route filtering and redistribution. You must configure inbound routing policies and redistribution of routes in WebUI. You can configure route maps and route aggregation using CLI commands. Route map configuration done through the CLI takes precedence over route filtering and redistribution configured in the WebUI. For example, if OSPF uses route maps for inbound filtering, anything configured in the WebUI for inbound route filters for OSPF is ignored. You can still use the WebUI to configure route redistribution into OSPF.

Workflow:

1. Configure the initial OSPF settings:

   1. Go to Device > Advanced Routing > OSPF.

   2. Configure the OSPF Global Options.

   3. Configure the OSPF Interfaces.

      Note - You must have at least one area configured before you can add an interface.

      Note - OSPF is not supported on a GRE interface.

   4. Configure the OSPF Area.

      Best Practice - Enter the area ID as a dotted quad. The area ID 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the backbone.

      Range:

      • backbone

        By default, the backbone area is enabled.

        You can disable the backbone area if the system does not have interfaces on the backbone area.

      • integer between 1 and 4294967295

      • dotted quad form (example: 0.0.0.1 for area id 1)

      Default: none

   5. At the bottom of the page, click Apply.

2. Configure the rule to accept the OSPF traffic from the applicable routers:
