Priority

 

The default priority of the interface. The priority is used to determine which

 

 

routers become the designated router (DR) and backup designated router

 

 

(BDR) for that segment. The higher the number, the higher the priority.

 

 

The default priority is 1. Valid values range from 0 to 255.

 

 

Note To exclude the interface from election as DR or BDR, assign a

 

 

priority of 0. Configure router priority only for interfaces to

 

 

multiaccess networks, not point-to-point networks.

 

 

 

MTU Ignore

 

When selected, ignores MTU mismatches between neighboring routers.

 

 

When deselected, MTU mismatch detection is enabled.

 

 

Note Typically, this option is not used, because it can cause routers to

 

 

become stuck in exstart/exchange state, which prevents OSPF

 

 

adjacency from being established.

 

 

 

Database Filter

 

When selected, blocks link-state advertisement (LSA) flooding to the

 

 

selected interface.

 

 

When deselected, LSA flooding is permitted.

 

 

Note We recommend that you enable this option on fully-meshed

 

 

networks. This option is not available for point-to-multipoint

 

 

networks.

 

 

 

Hello Interval

 

The default interval (in seconds) between hello packets sent over the selected

 

 

interface. These packets are used by neighboring routers to confirm the

 

 

router sending the packets is still operating. Valid values range 1 to 65535

 

 

seconds.

 

 

Note The hello interval must be the same for all routers and access servers

 

 

in the network.

 

 

 

Transmit Delay

 

The amount of time OSPF waits (in seconds) before flooding an LSA over

 

 

the link.

 

 

The default is 1 second. Valid values range from 1 to 65535 seconds.

 

 

Note When you configure slow links or on-demand links that queue traffic

 

 

before sending it in bursts, we recommend that you take these link

 

 

delays into account when defining this value.
