Using OSPF2 In the New Policy Properties window, configure the policy to allow traffic from the IP or networkaddress of the router using RIP to the multicast address 224.0.0.9.3 Click OK.Using OSPFNoteSupport for this protocol is available only in Fireware® Pro.OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is an interior router protocol used in larger networks. With OSPF, arouter that sees a change to its routing table or that detects a change in the network immediately sendsa multicast update to all other routers in the network. OSPF is different than RIP because:• OSPF sends only the part of the routing table that has changed in its transmission. RIP sends thefull routing table each time.• OSPF sends a multicast only when its information has changed. RIP sends the routing table every30 seconds.There are also a few specific things it is important to understand about OSFP:• If you have more than one OSPF area, one area must be area 0.0.0.0 (the backbone area).• All areas must be adjacent to the backbone area. If they are not, you must configure a virtual linkto the backbone area.OSPF daemon configurationTo create or modify a routing configuration file, here is a catalog of supported routing commands. Thesections must appear in the configuration file in the same order they appear in this table.
