The following is an example of the multicast interface definition in the router’s /etc/gated.conf file:

interface 193.2.1.35 cost 5 { enable ;

priority 15 ; hellointerval 5 ; routerdeadinterval 20 ; retransmitinterval 10 ;

} ;

Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA) Interface On NBMA networks, you must supply the configuration information, including the routers that are attached to the network, so that the OSPF’s Hello protocol communicates with neighbor routers. An NBMA interface definition applies to both X.25 network interfaces and systems that do not support IP multicasting. You can define an NBMA interface using the multicast interface statements, with the following additions:

•You must specify the clause nonbroadcast in the interface statement.

•pollinterval specifies a rate at which hellos are sent when a neighboring router becomes inactive (a router is considered inactive when hellos are not received from the router for the amount of time
