Steps
Next steps
You are now ready to add an OSPFv2 Area element to the engine on the Routing branch.
Engine Editor > Routing > Dynamic Routing
Use this branch to configure dynamic routing for the engine. Dynamic routing enables engines to automatically change their routing when the network topology changes.
Option | Definition |
---|---|
BGP section | |
Enabled | When selected, the BGP protocol for dynamic routing is enabled. |
Router ID | Enter an ID for the Engine. The ID must be unique. Often, the global IPv4 address is the ID. By default, the Router ID is automatically the loopback CVI address or the highest CVI address available on the Engine Cluster. |
BGP Profile | Select the BGP Profile to use. The element contains distance, redistribution, and aggregation settings. |
Autonomous System | Select the Autonomous System (AS) to use. An AS represents a whole network or a series of networks. |
Announced Networks table | You can add hosts, networks, or groups that contain both hosts and networks. Click Add to add an element to the table, or Remove to remove the selected element. |
BMP Router ID | Enter a unique ID for the BMP router. |
BMP Router ID Type | Select the ID type for the BMP router from the drop-down list. The following ID types are supported:

OSPFv2 section | |
Enabled | When selected, the OSPFv2 protocol for dynamic routing is enabled. |
Router ID | Enter an ID for the Engine. |
OSPFv2 Profile | Select the OSPFv2 Profile to use. The element contains distance, redistribution, and aggregation settings. |
Additional Networks to Automatically Add to Antispoofing | Elements that you add are automatically added under all interfaces (that have dynamic routing elements configured) on the Antispoofing branch in the Engine Editor. You can add hosts, networks, or groups that contain both hosts and networks. Click Add to add an element to the table, or Remove to remove the selected element. |
Option | Definition |
---|---|
Equal Cost Multi Path Count (Optional, BGP only) |
Enter the number of paths in the operating system routing table that have an equal routing priority for multi-path routing. |
Additional Networks to Automatically Add to Antispoofing
(Optional, all protocols) |
Elements that you add are automatically added under all interfaces (that have dynamic routing elements configured) on the Antispoofing branch in the Engine Editor. You can add hosts, networks, or groups that contain both hosts and networks. Click Add to add an element to the table, or Remove to remove the selected element. |
