Iftransit Delay Interval (secs)
- Enter the OSPF Transit Delay for the specified interface. This
specifies the estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link state update packet over
the selected interface. Valid values range from 1 to 3600 seconds (1 hour). The default value is
1 second.
MTU Ignore
- Disables OSPF MTU mismatch detection on receiving packets. Default value is
Disable. (MTU mismatch detection is enabled.)
Passive Mode
- Make an interface passive to prevent OSPF from forming an adjacency on an
interface. OSPF advertises networks attached to passive interfaces as stub networks. Interfaces
are not passive by default.
Network Type
- Sets the OSPF network type on the interface to broadcast or point-to-point. OSPF
only selects a designated router and originates network LSAs for broadcast networks. No more
than two OSPF routers may be present on a point-to-point link. The default network type for
Ethernet interfaces is broadcast..
Authentication Type
- You may select an authentication type other than none by clicking on the
'Configure' button. You will then see a new screen, where you can select the authentication
type from the pulldown menu. The choices are:
None
- This is the initial interface state. If you select this option from the pulldown menu on
the second screen you will be returned to the first screen and no authentication protocols
will be run.
Simple
- If you select 'Simple' you will be prompted to enter an authentication key. This
key will be included, in the clear, in the OSPF header of all packets sent on the network.
All routers on the network must be configured with the same key.
Encrypt
- If you select 'Encrypt' you will be prompted to enter both an authentication key
and an authentication ID. Encryption uses the MD5 Message-Digest algorithm. All routers
on the network must be configured with the same key and ID.
Authentication Key
- Enter the OSPF Authentication Key for the specified interface. If you do not
choose to use authentication you will not be prompted to enter a key. If you choose 'simple'
authentication you cannot use a key of more than 8 octets. If you choose 'encrypt' the key may be
up to 16 octets long. The key value will only be displayed if you are logged on with Read/Write
privileges, otherwise it will be displayed as asterisks.
Authentication Key ID
- Enter the ID to be used for authentication. You will only be prompted to
enter an ID when you select 'Encrypt' as the authentication type. The ID is a number between 0
ad
255, inclusive.
Metric Cost
- Enter the value on this interface for the cost TOS (type of service). The range for the
metric cost is between 1 and 65,535. Metric Cost is only configurable/displayed if OSPF is
initialized on the interface.
Non-Configurable Data
OSPF Admin Mode -
The default value is 'disable.' You can configure OSPF parameters without
enabling OSPF Admin Mode, but they will have no effect until you enable Admin Mode. The
following information will be displayed only if the Admin Mode is enabled: State, Designated Router,
Backup Designated Router, Number of Link Events, LSA Ack Interval, and Metric Cost. For OSPF
to be fully functional, you must enter a valid IP Address and Subnet Mask via the Interface IP
Configuration page or through the CLI command: config ip interface network .
IP Address
- The IP address of the interface.
Subnet Mask
- The subnet/network mask, that indicates the portion of the IP interface address
that identifies the attached network.
LSA Ack Interval
- The number of seconds between LSA Acknowledgment packet
