Type	route is composed of the internal metric (inside the autonomous system) and the

	disabled on an interface, the parameter CONFIG=>INTERFACE =><LINK>
	=>ROUTING PROTOCOL =>OSPF =>ADVERTISE THIS NON-OSPF INTERFACE
	must also be set to Yes for the interface to be advertised.
Advertise Static	Static routes defined in the router will be converted to OSPF. Note that static routes
Routes	can be configured individually as advertised or not in the parameter
	CONFIG=>STATIC ROUTES=>IP=>ADD ROUTE=>OSPF ADVERTISES THIS
	STATIC ROUTE. Both parameters must be Yes for the route to be advertised.

Parameter	Description
Area ID	Has the format of an IP address, but is not linked to any IP address in the system. Use
	the CONFIG=>IP=>OSPF=>L option to see which areas have been defined, and use
	the area ID here.
Authentication Type	Simple password authentication can be used in OSPF. The authentication type should
	be the same for all routers in an OSPF Area. If used, the password for each interface
	is set in CONFIG=>INTERFACE=><INTERFACE>=>ROUTING PROTOCOL =>OSPF
	=>PASSWORD.
