OSPF Area
Represents that area that this circuit is part of.
OSPF LSA Timer
Determines how often The Link State Acknowledgment (LSA) packet is sent.
Values:
1
−
3600
Default: 5
OSPF LSU Delay
The estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a Link State Update (LSU)
packet over this circuit interface.
Values:
1
−
3600
Default: 1
OSPF Router
Priority
This 8-bit unsigned integer ranges from 1 to 255 and assigns priority to one of two
routers attached to the same network; without an assigned priority, both routers
attempt to become the designated router.
Values:
1
−
255
Default: 1
OSPF Hello Interval
The time in seconds between the Hello packets that a router sends on a circuit.
This value is also advertised in the router’s Hello packets and must be identical for
all routers on the same network. The smaller the Hello Interval, the sooner
topological changes are detected (but then more traffic is created).
Values:
1
−
65535
Default: 10
OSPF Dead Interval
The number of seconds that a router’s Hellos have not been received before its
neighbors declare the router down. The value must be the same as the value on
the network.
Values:
1
−
65535
Default: 40
OSPF Auth Key
When configured, this parameter allows an authentication procedure to be
executed on the OSPF header. If the 64-bit (8 character) password does not
correspond, the packet is thrown away.
Values:
64 bits (8 characters)
Default: 8 spaces (no authentication)
