OSPF External Setting

The OSPF External Setting serves two purposes:

• Provides a means of testing the OSPF interface instrumentation and analysis functionality of Network Protocol Manager for OSPF.

• Provides a means for Network Protocol Manager for OSPF to import OSPF interface status updates from an VMware Smart Assurance adapter, such as theVMware Smart Assurance Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS.

  OSPF External Setting parameters and their values lists the OSPF External Setting parameters.
