DESCRIPTION

 

V2-Broadcast

This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select this to send RIP-2

 

 

packets using subnet broadcasting; otherwise, the ZyWALL uses

 

 

multicasting.

 

 

 

 

OSPF Setting

See Section 14.3 on page 299 for more information about OSPF.

 

 

 

 

Area

Select the area in which this interface belongs. Select None to disable

 

 

OSPF in this interface.

 

 

 

 

Priority

Enter the priority (between 0 and 255) of this interface when the area

 

 

is looking for a Designated Router (DR) or Backup Designated Router

 

 

(BDR). The highest-priority interface identifies the DR, and the

 

 

second-highest-priority interface identifies the BDR. Set the priority

 

 

to zero if the interface can not be the DR or BDR.

 

 

 

 

Link Cost

Enter the cost (between 1 and 65,535) to route packets through this

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

 

Passive

Select this to stop forwarding OSPF routing information from the

 

Interface

selected interface. As a result, this interface only receives routing

 

 

information.

 

 

 

 

Authentication

Select an authentication method, or disable authentication. To

 

 

exchange OSPF routing information with peer border routers, you

 

 

must use the same authentication method that they use. Choices are:

 

 

Same-as-Area- use the default authentication method in the area

 

 

None - disable authentication

 

 

Text - authenticate OSPF routing information using a plain-text

 

 

password

 

 

MD5 - authenticate OSPF routing information using MD5 encryption

 

 

 

 

Text

This field is available if the Authentication is Text. Type the

 

Authentication

password for text authentication. The key can consist of alphanumeric

 

Key

characters and the underscore, and it can be up to eight characters

 

 

 

 

long.

 

 

 

 

MD5

This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the ID for

 

Authentication

MD5 authentication. The ID can be between 1 and 255.

 

ID

 

 

 

 

 

MD5

This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the

 

Authentication

password for MD5 authentication. The password can consist of

 

Key

alphanumeric characters and the underscore, and it can be up to 16

 

 

 

 

characters long.

 

 

 

 

MAC Address

This section appears when Interface Properties is External or

 

Setting

General. Have the interface use either the factory assigned default

 

 

MAC address, a manually specified MAC address, or clone the MAC

 

 

address of another device or computer.

 

 

 

 

Use Default

Select this option to have the interface use the factory assigned

 

MAC Address

default MAC address. By default, the ZyWALL uses the factory

 

 

assigned MAC address to identify itself.
