Bridging and Routing Configuration
QuickSET Configuration Guide 55
Poll Interval — If a neighboring router has become inactive (Hello packets have not been seen for
[Router Dead] seconds, it may still be necessary to send Hello packets to the dead neighbor. These
Hello packets will be sent at the reduced rate [Poll Interval], which should be much larger than
Hello interval. Typical Poll Interval for an X.25 network is 120 seconds.
Retransmit Interval — The number of seconds between the retransmission of Link-State
Advertisements.
Hello Interval — The length of time in seconds between the Hello packets that the router sends
on this interface, advertised in Hello packets sent out of this interface.
Router Dead Interval — The number of seconds before the router’s neighbors will declare it
down, when they stop hearing the router’s Hello packets.
OSPF Redistribute Routes
Clicking the OSPF Redistribute Routes button lets you access the OSPF Redistribute Routes
window shown below in Figure 57.
Figure 57 OSPF Redistribute Routes Window
The Redistribute Routes function lets you “leak” RIP, or static routes (external routes) into an
OSPF domain. (Routes that originate from other routing protocols, or different OSPF processes,
and are injected into OSPF via redistribution are called external routes). The external route is
distributed throughout the domain via the OSPF update mechanism.
