Understanding the OSPF routing parameters
This section provides some background information about the OSPF parameters. For more
information on each parameter, see the MAX Reference Guide. For OSPF routing, you set the
following parameters:
Parameters Description
RunOSPF OSPF is turned off by default. To enable it on the interface, set
RunOSPF to Yes.
Area Sets the area ID for the interface. The format for this ID is dotted
decimal, but it is not an IP address. (For a description of areas,
see “Hierarchical routing (areas)” on page 9-6.)
AreaType Specifies the type of area: Normal, Stub, or StubNoDefault. (For
descriptions, see “Stub areas” on page 9-6.)
HelloInterval Specifies how frequently, in seconds, the MultiVoice Gateway
sends out Hello packets on the specified interface. OSPF routers
use Hello packets to dynamically detect neighboring routers in
order to form adjacencies.
DeadInterval Specifies how many seconds the MultiVoice Gateway waits
before declaring its neighboring routers down after it stops
receiving their Hello packets. (For background information, see
“Exchange of routing information” on page 9-4.)
