OSPF Parameters
Enter the operating parameters for the OSPF Interface. Valid ranges are provided in parentheses.
OSPF – Select the OSPF operating interface as Disabled or Enabled .
Area Network Address – Enter the IP address for the area.
Area Subnet Mask (8-30) – Enter the subnet mask for the area.
OSPF Area (0 - 4294967295) – An area is a set of networks and hosts within an Autonomous
System (AS) that have been administratively grouped together. The SLM-5650A NP Interface
supports only one OSPF Area at a time. A group of (adjacent) routers which cooperate by
exchanging their routing data base for the specified network range – i.e., an OSPF router – will only
send its database to other routers that advertise that they are in the same area.
Cost (1 - 65535) – Enter the explicit cost of sending a packet via this interface.
Retransmit Interval (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the number of seconds between link state
advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to an OSPF interface.
Transmit Delay (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the parameters used to define the route to the
destination network.
Priority (0 - 255) – Set the priority to help determine the OSPF. Note that 0, or not designated, is
the default value.
Hello Interval (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the number seconds between the ‘Hello’ packets that
are sent on an OSPF interface.
Dead Interval (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the number seconds that a device’s ‘Hello’ packets
must not have been seen before its neighbors declare the OSPF router down.
