config ospf ipif
Purpose Used to configure the OSPF interface settings.
Syntax config ospf ipif <ipif_name 12> {area <area_id> | priority <value> | hello_interval <sec 1-
65535>| dead_interval <sec 1-65535> | authentication [none | simple <password 8> | md5
<key_id 1-255>] | metric <value 1-65535> | state [enable | disable]}
Description This command is used to configure the OSPF interface settings.
Parameters <ipif_name 12> The name of the IP interface.
area <area_id> A 32-bit number in the form of an IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that uniquely identifies the
OSPF area in the OSPF domain.
priority <value> The priority used in the election of the Designated Router (DR).A number between 0 and
255.
hello_interval <sec 1-65535> Allows the specification of the interval between the transmission of OSPF Hello
packets, in seconds. Between 1 and 65535 seconds can be specified.The Hello Interval, Dead Interval,
Authorization Type, and Authorization Key should be the same for all routers on the same network.
dead_interval <sec 1-65535> Allows the specification of the length of time between the receipt of Hello
packets from a neighbor router before the selected area declares that router down.An interval between 1 and
65535 seconds can be specified.The Dead Interval must be evenly divisible by the Hello Interval.
metric <value 1-65535 > The interface metric (1 to 65535). Entering a 0 will allow automatic calculation of the
metric.
authentication – Enter the type of authentication preferred.The user may choose between:
none – Choosing this parameter will require no authentication.
simple <password 8> – Choosing this parameter will set a simple authentication which includes
a case-sensitive password of no more than 8 characters.
md5 <key_id 1-255> – Choosing this parameter will set authentication based on md5 encryption.
A previously configured MD5 key ID (1 to 255) is required.
metric <value 1-65535> This field allows the entry of a number between 1 and 65,535 that is representative of
the OSPF cost of reaching the selected OSPF interface.The default metric is 1.
state [enable | disable] – Used to enable or disable this function.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure OSPF interface settings:
AT-9724TS:4# config ospf ipif System priority 2
hello_interval 15 metric 2 state enable
Command: config ospf ipif System priority 2 hello_interval
15 metric 2 state enable
