– Stub — The stub area does not receive external routes. External routes are defined as
routes which were distributed in OSPF via another routing protocol. Therefore, 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 SCALANCE IWLAN Controller:
1. From the top menu, click Wireless Controller. The Wireless Controller Configuration screen
is displayed.
2. In the left pane, click Routing Protocols.
3. Click the OSPF tab.
4. Select a port to configure by clicking on the desired port in the Port Settings table. The Edit
Port dialog displays.
5. In the Link Cost box, type the OSPF standard value 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 SCALANCE IWLAN Controller from
serving as a router for other network traffic (other than the traffic from wireless device users on routed
topologies controlled by the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller). For more information, see “Filtering Rules” on
page 5-3.
6. In the Authentication drop-down list, click the authentication type for OSPF on your
network: None or Password. The default setting is None.
7. If Password is selected as the authentication type, in the Password box, type the password.
If None is selected as the Authentication type, leave this box empty. 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.
