OSPF Areas top


A OSPF AREA: Add OSPF Area (Administrator)
A OSPF AREA:x.x.x.x [par:val]

This command adds a new entry to the OSPF Areas table, identified by the specified ID. The command also sets the eventually indicated optional parameters to the specified values.

Valid Area IDs are values in the range [0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255] and must be expressed in Dotted Decimal Notation.

The ID value unambiguously identifies an entry in the system. Two or more entries with the same ID value cannot be present in the same time in the table. If the indicated value matches an already existing entry, the following message will be displayed "OSPF AREA ALREADY EXISTS".

If the table is full, i.e. no free record is currently available, the message "OSPF AREAs TABLE IS FULL, COMMAND NOT EXECUTED" will be shown.

The "Not Saved (SAVE CONF)" message is displayed every time the table is modified but not saved with the SAVE CONF command.

The "Not Refreshed (INIT)" message is displayed every time the table is modified but not refreshed by executing the initialization command INIT PO:xxx, where "xxx" is the OSPF port number.

It adds a new entry to the Table of OSPF External Routes, identified by the specified mandatory parameters. The command also sets the eventually indicated optional parameters to the specified values.

The "EXTERNAL:" parameter corresponds to the external route IP address and mask in Slash Notation (i.e. x.x.x.x/yy).

Valid network IP addresses must always be expressed in Dotted Decimal Notation. The allowed values are shown in the following table:

HEX: 00000000 01000000 - 7EFFFFFF 80000000 - DFFFFFFF
DDN: 0.0.0.0 1.0.0.0 - 126.255.255.255 128.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255

IP addresses of class D and E are not currently supported.

Valid values for the network mask must contain sequence of bit set to 1, estimated leaving from the most meaningful bit towards the less meaningful one; therefore they must be in the range [0..32].

Doing the "logical AND" between network IP address and the related network mask, the result should be the network itself.

The "PROT:" parameter represents the Routing protocol and must correspond to a value in the range [ANY, LOCAL, STATIC, RIP].

The "ACTION:val" parameter represents the action associated to this entry and must correspond to a value in the range [IGNORE, ACCEPT].

The IP external network, the protocol and the action values unambiguously identify an entry in the system. Two or more entries with the same IP external network value and the same protocol value cannot be present in the same time in the table. If the indicated values match an already existing entry, the following message will be displayed "OSPF EXTERNAL ROUTE ALREADY PRESENT".

If the table is full, i.e. no free record is currently available, the message "OSPF EXTERNAL ROUTEs TABLE IS FULL, COMMAND NOT EXECUTED" will be shown.

The "Not Saved (SAVE CONF)" message is displayed every time the table is modified but not saved with the SAVE CONF command.

The "Not Refreshed (INIT)" message is displayed every time the table is modified but not refreshed by executing the initialization command INIT PO:xxx, where "xxx" is the OSPF port number.

If the Abilis CPX version, currently in use, does not support OSPF services, the following message will be shown "OSPF SERVICE NOT PRESENT".


C OSPF EXTERNAL: Clear OSPF External route (Administrator)
C OSPF EXTERNAL:x.x.x.x/yy PROT:val

OSPF Ranges top


A OSPF RANGE: Add OSPF Range (Administrator)
A OSPF RANGE:x.x.x.x/yy AREA:val [ADV:val]

This command defines a new OSPF range, identified by the specified mandatory parameters. The command also sets the eventually indicated optional parameters to the specified values.

The "RANGE:" parameter corresponds to network IP address and mask in Slash Notation (i.e. x.x.x.x/yy).

Valid network IP addresses must always be expressed in Dotted Decimal Notation. The allowed values are shown in the following table:

HEX: 00000000 01000000 - 7EFFFFFF 80000000 - DFFFFFFF
DDN: 0.0.0.0 1.0.0.0 - 126.255.255.255 128.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255

IP addresses of class D and E are not currently supported.

Valid values for the network mask must contain sequence of bit set to 1, estimated leaving from the most meaningful bit towards the less meaningful one; therefore they must be in the range [0..32].

Doing the "logical AND" between network IP address and the related network mask, the result should be the network itself.

The "AREA:" parameter represents an OSPF Area ID, expressed in Dotted Decimal Notation [0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255]. The specified OSPF area must be already defined in the OSPF Areas table, otherwise the "OSPF AREA NOT PRESENT" error message is displayed and the command refused.

The range and the Area ID values unambiguously identify an entry in the system. Two or more entries with the same range value and the same Area ID cannot be present in the same time in the table. If the indicated values match an already existing entry, the following message will be displayed "OSPF RANGE ALREADY EXISTS".

If the table is full, i.e. no free record is currently available, the message "OSPF RANGEs TABLE IS FULL, COMMAND NOT EXECUTED" will be shown.

Changes made on the table of OSPF Ranges are not immediately active, they can be activated by executing the initialization command INIT PO:xxx, where "xxx" is the OSPF port number.

The "Not Saved (SAVE CONF)" message is displayed every time the table is modified but not saved with the SAVE CONF command.

The "Not Refreshed (INIT)" message is displayed every time the table is modified but not refreshed by executing the initialization command INIT PO:xxx, where "xxx" is the OSPF port number.

If the Abilis CPX version, currently in use, does not support OSPF services, the following message will be shown "OSPF SERVICE NOT PRESENT".


C OSPF RANGE: Clear OSPF Range (Administrator)
C OSPF RANGE:x.x.x.x/yy AREA:val

This command deletes an OSPF range, identified by the specified mandatory parameters.
