DXS-3326GSR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
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 Setting
window. 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.
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. The highest IP address will be the Designated Router
and is determined by the OSPF Hello Protocol of the Switch.
DR Address
The IP address of the aforementioned Designated Router.
Backup DR Address
The IP address of the aforementioned Backup Designated Router.
Transmit Delay
A read-only field that denotes the estimated time to transmit a Link State Update
Packet over this interface, in seconds.
Retransmit Time
A read-only field that denotes the time between LSA retransmissions over this
interface, in seconds.
OSPF Virtual Interface Settings
Click the
OSPF Virtual Interface Setting
s 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 one used to add a new set. To eliminate an existing configuration, click the
in
the Delete column.
