○ Broadcast – to be used in the network where all the participants always hear each other (Ethernet).
Designated Router (DR) and Backup DR (BDR) are setup between the neighbors. They are re-
sponsible for the update propagation (broadcast).
○ NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multiple Access) – to be used in the network where only specific participants
can communicate between each other; all the participants hear each other but multicast is not
available. DR and BDR is setup.
○ Point2Point – network having only two participants. They discover each other using multicast.
○ Point2Multipoint – network where only predefined pairs of participants can hear each other (e.g.
star topology); multicast is not available.
• Static rules can be defined. Such a routing rules are propagated to the network from this router.
• It is possible to define exported routing rules aggregation or specific routing rule hiding.
• It is possible to control the routing rules which are imported into the RipEX unit from the OSPF protocol
and those that are exported into the OSPF protocol from the unit by using ‘filters’.
○ Export filters – to control rules exported from the unit to the OSPF protocol which is propagating
them further.
○ Import filters – to control rules imported from the OSPF into the unit.
7.2.2.2. Common - Common settings
• Active
List box {On; Off}, default = "Off"
Enables the dynamic routing and the OSPF protocol.
• Router ID
IP address, default = 0.0.0.0
RipEX unit acts in the OSPF network as a dynamic router. Every router is identified by an ID having
the format of IP address. This IP address does not have to be ‘real’.
Router ID is shared with the BGP protocol.
• Instance ID
Number {0 – 255}, default = 0
OSPF protocol instance number. This number is needed in case of running multiple OSPF protocols
(for example on the border of 2 independent OSPF networks).
7.2.2.3. Network - Areas and interfaces - Areas
OSPF areas RipEX unit belongs to are described here. Maximum number of areas is 32.
• Active
List box {On; Off}, default = "Off"
Enables / disables the area.
• Area ID
IP address, default = 0.0.0.0
