OSPF Virtual Interface Settings
Click the
OSPF Virtual Interface Settings
link to view the current OSPF virtual interface settings. There are not virtual
interface settings configured by default, so the first time this table is viewed there will be not interfaces listed. To add a
new OSPF virtual interface configuration set to the table, click the
Add
button. A new window appears (see below). To
change an existing configuration, click on the hyperlinked Transit Area ID for the set you want to change. The window to
modify an existing set is the same as the window used to add a new one. To eliminate an existing configuration, click the
X
in the Delete column for the configuration being removed.

previously defined on the Switch
−
that allows
a remote area to communicate with the backbone (area 0). A Transit Area cannot be a
Stub Area or a Backbone Area.
Neighbor Router
The OSPF router ID for the remote router. This is a 32-bit number in the form of an IP
address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that uniquely identifies the remote area’s Area Border
Router.
Hello Interval (1-
65535)
Specify the interval between the transmission of OSPF Hello packets, in seconds.
Enter a value between 1 and 65535 seconds. The
Hello Interval

Dead Interval

Authorization Type

Authorization Key
should have identical settings for all
routers on the same network.
Dead Interval (1-
65535)
Specify the length of time between (receiving) Hello packets from a neighbor router
before the selected area declares that router down. Again, all routers on the network
should use the same setting.
