MD5 OSPF Authentication
Check to enable MD5 OSPF authentication. Following are the
parameters necessary to configure this feature:
•
Key Id
–
secret keyword version
•
Key
–
secret keyword
It is possible to have two sets of MD5 keys
–
the second set is required to
change the key in switch modules.
Stubby Area
Enable this option if the output is connected to a stubby network
OSPF Metric
Defines the cost of this route in the network
Enable PIM
Enable or disable Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM).In a PIM
enabled environment, each subnet must have a designated PIM router
(PIM DR). Many routers today supports taking the role as the PIM DR
and for those cases the PIM should not be enabled in the Appear unit.
For routers that cannot act as PIM DR the PIM should be enabled in the
Appear unit. In this case the Appear takes over the role as the subnet
PIM DR. The ATV PIM DR is signaling its own multicasts only; hence
other sources on the same network will be time out and become
unavailable.
This feature requires the output redundancy license.

ROUP STREAMS FOR OUTPUT REDUNDANCY
User can now create groups in GUI of the IP output card and add services (SPTS) to the groups. Groups can be
used just to organize all the outgoing SPTS’s, or they can b
e used for output-redundancy (OSPF) at group level.
The output-redundancy behaviour for output groups should be similar to the one in MPTS
’s
.
User can define the group manually in the Output configuration GUI
, by clicking “Add Group…” button in the
top-rig
ht part of the window, selecting a Name for the group and clicking “Ok” button.
