Create an OSPF Area
On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose . On the OSPF Area page, click Create OSPF Area. Then, the Create OSPF Area page is displayed.
On the displayed page, set the following parameters:
- Zone ID: Set an area ID in dotted decimal notation that identifies an OSPF area. The area ID is in similar format as that of IPv4 address.
- Type: Select an OSPF area type. Valid values: Standard
and Stub.
- Standard: Standard areas support all types of LSAs.
- Stub: Stub areas do not support Type 4 and Type 5 LSAs.
- Authentication Method: The authentication method used
when you select VPC vRouters in an OSPF area to establish neighbors. Valid
values: None, Plaintext, and MD5.
- None: Packets are received without identity authentication.
- Plaintext: Identity authentication is implemented by using the password contained in the received packets.
- MD5: Identity authentication is implemented by using the key ID and password MD5 hash that are contained in the received packets.
- Routing Configuration: Optional. Set routing
configurations. If you set this parameter, you need to:
- Select a VPC vRouter to add to the OSPF area.
- Select a network associated with the VPC vRouter to add to the OSPF area.
Note: You can add a VPC vRouter to multiple OSPF areas, but you can add a
VPC network or public network associated with the VPC vRouter to only one
OSPF area.
