Field	Description
Type	The type of interface:
	● Point To Point
	● Point To Multipoint
	● Broadcast
State	The interface state of the OSPF interface:
	● Down - OSPF is not active on the interface.
	● Waiting - The identity of the designated router for this subnet is not
	yet determined.
	● Designated Router - This router is the Designated Router on this
	subnet.
	● Backup Designated Router - This router is the Backup
	Designated Router.
	● Other Designated Router - Another router is the Designated
	Router on this subnet.

	relationships, and that the interface is advertised as an internal route to
	OSPF. If not checked, the interface is external to OSPF.
Designated	The IP Address of the designated router.
Router
Backup	The IP Address of the backup designated router.

Router
Priority	The priority of this router to become the designated router on this
	interface. A value of zero indicates that this router is not eligible to
	become the designated router on the current network. If more than one
	router has the same priority, then the router ID is used.
Cost	The cost of using this interface. OSPF will choose the route with the
	lowest total cost (metric) to each destination.
Hello Interval	The period of time (in seconds) between Hello packets. All routers
	attached to a common network must have the same Hello Interval.
Dead Interval	The period of time (in seconds) that a router’s Hello packets have not
	been seen before the router’s neighbors declare the router down. All
	routers attached to a common network must have the same Dead
	interval.
Auth Type	Authentication Type. Possible methods are:
	● None
	● Simple-password
	● MD5 - Auth Type cannot be set to MD5 from Avaya G250/G350/
	G450 Manager. If MD5 authentication was configured from the CLI,
	you may view the existing Auth Type, or change Auth Type to None
	or Simple-password.
