RuggedRouter™ User Guide

The Transmit Delay field controls the estimated number of seconds to transmit a link state update packet. This should take into account transmission and propagation delays of the interface.

The Passive Interface option controls if an interface is active or passive. Passive interfaces do not send LSAs to other routers and are not part of an OSPF area.

The Authentication field controls the type of authentication to use when communicating with other routers. It can be none, null (just check for message corruption) or message digest, which cryptographically signs each message with a shared key.

The Message Digest Keys fields allows for addition and deletion of keys to use for areas connected to this interface when authentication is set to message-digest.

OSPF Network Areas

To delete an entry click the Delete button beside the entry. All networks routes that are part of the same area will be distributed to other routers in the same area.
