D-Link DES-3350SR Standalone Layer 3 Switch
116
Configure each IP interface individually using the OSPF Interface Settings - Edit menu. Click the Apply button when you have
entered the settings. The new configuration appears listed in the OSPF Interface Settings table.
OSPF interface settings are described below. Some OSPF interface settings require previously configured OSPF settings. Read the
descriptions below for details.
Parameters Description
Interface Name
Displays the of an IP interface previously
configured on the Switch.
Area ID
Allows the entry of an OSPF Area ID
configured above.
Router Priority (0-
255)
Allows the entry of a number between 0
and 255 representing the OSPF priority of
the selected area. If a Router Priority of 0 is
selected, the Switch cannot be elected as
the Designated Router for the network.
Hello Interval (1-
65535)
Allows the specification of the interval
between the transmission of OSPF Hello
packets, in seconds. Between 1 and 65535
seconds can be specified. The
Hello
Interval, Dead Interval, Authorization
Type
, and Authorization Key should be
the same for all routers on the same
network.
Dead Interval (1-
65535)
Allows the specification of the length of
time between the receipt of Hello packets
from a neighbor router before the selected
area declares that router down. An interval
between 1 and 65535 seconds can be
specified. The
Dead Interval must be
evenly divisible by the Hello Interval .
State
Allows the OSPF interface to be disabled
for the selected area without changing the
configuration for that area.
Auth Type
This field can be toggled between None ,
Simple , and MD5 using the space bar.
This allows a choice of authorization
schemes for OSPF packets that may be
exchanged over the OSPF routing domain.
None specifies no authorization.
Simple uses a simple password to
determine if the packets are from an
authorized OSPF router. When Simple is
selected, the Auth Key field allows the
entry of an 8-character password that must
be the same as a password configured on
a neighbor OSPF router.
MD5 uses a cryptographic key entered in
the MD5 Key Table Configuration menu.
When MD5 is selected, the Auth Key ID
field allows the specification of the Key ID
as defined in the MD5 configuration above.
This must be the same MD5 Key as used
by the neighboring router.
Password/Auth. Key
ID
Enter a Key ID of up to 5 characters to set
the Auth. Key ID for either the Simple Auth
Type or the MD5 Auth Type, as specified in
the previous parameter.
Metric (1-65535)
This field allows the entry of a number
between 1 and 65,535 that is
representative of the OSPF cost of
reaching the selected OSPF interface. The
default metric is 1.
DR State
A read only field describing the Designated
Router state of the IP interface. This field
many read
DR if the interface is the
designated router, or Backup DR if the
interface is the Backup Designated Router.
