The following table describes the OSPF Interface Configuration Menu options.

Table 137 OSPF Interface Configuration Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

 

aindex <0-2>

Configures the OSPF area index.

 

 

 

prio <0-255>

Configures the assigned priority value to the OSPF interfaces.

 

(A priority value of 127 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. A priority value of 0

 

specifies that the interface cannot be used as Designated Router (DR) or Backup

 

Designated Router (BDR).)

 

 

 

cost <1-65535>

Configures cost set for the selected path—preferred or backup. Usually the cost

 

is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of the interface. Low cost indicates

 

high bandwidth.

 

 

 

hello <1-65535>

Configures the interval in seconds between the hello packets for the

 

interfaces.

 

 

 

dead <1-65535>

Configures the health parameters of a hello packet, which is set for an

 

interval of seconds before declaring a silent router to be down.

 

 

 

trans <1-3600>

Configures the transit delay in seconds.

 

 

 

retra <1-3600>

Configures the retransmit interval in seconds.

 

 

 

key <key string>none

Sets the authentication key to clear the password.

 

 

 

mdkey <1-255>none

Assigns an MD5 key to the interface.

 

 

 

enable

Enables the OSPF interface.
