DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

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.
