For a full support of Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP), also, Mantychore provides the possibility to configure OSPF. To execute this IGP configuration, press right-click to a available router. It will give the possibility to activate or deactivate a OSPF configuration. In this point, press double click to "OSPF Activation Action"
In the new dialog, an user will be able to configure different areas (it is formed for a set of interfaces), and different configuration parameters.
After the configuration of different areas, it is necessary to specify how routers destribute their protocol information. After this, the OSPF configuration will be enabled.
