Configurable Data
Neighbor Router ID - Enter the neighbor portion of a Virtual Link specification. Virtual
links may be configured between any pair of area border routers having interfaces to a
common (non-backbone) area. You only enter this ID when you are creating a new virtual
link.
Hello Interval - Enter the OSPF hello interval for the specified interface in seconds. This
parameter must be the same for all routers attached to a network. Valid values range
from 1 to 65,535. The default is 10 seconds. .
Dead Interval - Enter the OSPF dead interval for the specified interface in seconds. This
specifies how long a router will wait to see a neighbor router's Hello packets before
declaring that the router is down. This parameter must be the same for all routers
attached to a network. This value should a multiple of the Hello Interval (e.g. 4). Valid
values range from 1 to 2147483647. The default is 40.
Iftransit Delay Interval - 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.
Retransmit Interval - Enter the OSPF retransmit interval for the specified interface. This
is the number of seconds between link-state advertisements for adjacencies belonging to
this router interface. This value is also used when retransmitting database descriptions
and link-state request packets. Valid values range from 1 to 3600 seconds (1 hour). The
default is 5 seconds.
Authentication Type - You may select an authentication type other than none by clicking
on the 'Configure Authentication' 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.
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 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.
