The following fields can be set:
ParameterDescription
Interface |
| Allows the entry of the name of an IP interface previously |
Name:[System | ] | configured on the switch. |
Area ID:[0.0.0.0] | Allows the entry of an OSPF Area ID configured above. | |
Router Priority:[1] | Allows the entry of a number between 0 and 255 | |
|
| representing the OSPF priority of the selected area. If a |
|
| Router Priority of 0 is selected, the switch cannot be elected |
|
| as the Designated Router for the network. |
Hello Interval:[10 ] | Allows the specification of the interval between the | |
|
| transmission of OSPF Hello packets, in seconds. Between 5 |
|
| and 65535 seconds can be specified. The Hello Interval, Dead |
|
| Interval, Authorization Type, and Authorization Key should |
|
| be the same for all routers on the same network. |
Dead Interval:[40 ] | Allows the specification of the length of time between the | |
|
| receipt of Hello packets from a neighbor router before the |
|
| selected area declares that router down. An interval between |
|
| 5 and 65535 seconds can be specified. The Dead Interval |
|
| must be evenly divisible by the Hello Interval. |
State:<Disabled> | Allows the OSPF interface to be disabled for the selected area | |
|
| without changing the configuration for that area. |
Auth. Type:<None> | This field can be toggled between None, Simple, and MD5 | |
|
| using the space bar. This allows a choice of authorization |
|
| schemes for OSPF packets that may be exchanged over the |
|
| OSPF routing domain. None specifies no authorization. |
|
| Simple uses a simple password to determine if the packets |
|
| are from an authorized OSPF router. When Simple is |
|
| selected, the Auth Key field allows the entry of a 8 character |
|
| password that must be the same as a password configured |
|
| on a neighbor OSPF router. MD5 uses a cryptographic key |
|
| entered in the MD5 Key Table Configuration menu. When |
|
| MD5 is selected, the Auth Key ID field allows the |
|
| specification of the Key ID as defined in the MD5 |
|
| configuration above. This must be the same MD5 Key as |
|
| used by the neighboring router. |
Auth. Key:[ ] |
| MD5 uses a cryptographic key entered in the MD5 Key |
|
| Table Configuration screen. When MD5 is selected, the |
|
| Auth. Key ID field allows the specification of the Key ID as |
|
| defined in the MD5 configuration above. This must be the |
|
| same MD5 Key as used by the neighboring router. |
Metric:[1 | ] | This field allows the entry of a number between 1 and 65,535 |
|
| that is representative of the OSPF cost of reaching the |
|
| selected OSPF interface. The default metric is 1. |
