address or integer. Each port on the switch can be configured
to represent one OSPF area.
ID 0.0.0.0 is used for the OSPF backbone.
Router Priority 1 The priority used when selecting the designated router and
designated backup router.
Range: 0-255; Disable election: 0
Transit Delay 1 second The estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link
state update packet over this interface.
Range: 0-3600 seconds
Retransmit
Interval
5
seconds
The number of seconds between retransmitting link-state

protocol broadcast messages are restricted by area to limit their impact on network
performance.
2. This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network.
