Field
Description
Metric Determination
Defines how the metric of this interface is calculated.
Possible values:
•
1 % -,"
(default value): The metric is
automatically set on the basis of the interface speed.
•
7?
: Enter a specific value in
Metric (direct routes)
.
Metric (direct routes)
Enter the base metric value. The basis of the metric actually
used for a route is a base metric value, which is obtained from
the bandwidth of the interface: BMV = 100,000,000 / bandwidth
in bps. For
Metric Determination
1 %
-,"
the automatically calculated value is displayed here and
cannot be modified.
The base metric value for bandwidths >= 100.000.000 bps is al-
ways
. The base metric value of gigabit interfaces and 100mbit
interfaces is, therefore, identical. In order to change this you
need to enter a fixed value in
Metric Determination
.
Authentication Type
Select the type of authentication used if OSPF packets are sent
over this OSPF interface (or incoming packets checked).
Defines how the key in the
Authentication Key
field is used.
The default value is
. In
6/ +?
, the key is sent as a
text string in each packet. In
(3
, the key is used to create a
hash, which is sent with each packet
Authentication Key
Enter a text string to be used in combination with the defined
Authentication Type
.
Export indirect static
routes
If this value is set to
*
(default), only direct routes (i.e. routes
to networks reached directly over this interface) are propagated
over active OSPF interfaces (see
Admin Status
). If the value is
set to
I&
, indirect static routes are also propagated over active
interfaces.
Demand Circuit Op-
tions
Define whether Demand OSPF procedures (Hello suppression
on FULL Neighbors and setting of DoNotAge flags on the
propagated LSA) shall be performed (
I&
, default value) or not
(
*
).
