MD5 Key
The
MD5 Key Table Configuration
menu allows the entry of a 16 character Message Digest
−
version 5 (MD5)
key which can be used to authenticate every packet exchanged between OSPF routers. It is used as a security
mechanism to limit the exchange of network topology information to the OSPF routing domain.
MD5 Keys created here can be used in the
OSPF Interface Configuration
menu below.
To
configure an
MD5 Key
, click the
MD5 Key
link to open the following dialog box:
Figure 4- 59. MD5 Key Table Configuration window
The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
Key ID
A number from 1 to 255 used to identify the MD5 Key.
Key
A alphanumeric string of between 1 and 16 case-sensitive characters used
to generate the Message Digest which is in turn, used to authenticate OSPF
packets within the OSPF routing domain.
Click
Apply
to enter the new Key ID settings. To delete a Key ID entry, click the corresponding
under the
Delete
heading.
Route Redistribution Settings
Route redistribution allows routers on the network, which are running different routing protocols to exchange
routing information. This is accomplished by comparing the routes stored in the various routers routing tables
and assigning appropriate metrics. This information is then exchanged among the various routers according to
the individual routers current routing protocol. The Switch can redistribute routing information between the
OSPF and RIP routing protocols to all routers on the network that are running OSPF or RIP. Routing information
entered into the
Static Routing Table
on the local DGS-3324SRi switch is also redistributed.
Routing information source
−
OSPF and the Static Route table. Routing information will be redistributed to RIP.
The following table lists the allowed values for the routing metrics and the types (or forms) of the routing
information that will be redistributed.
