Click Add (or select an interface and click Edit ) in the lower right portion of the screen, and the
right screen becomes an editor for the interface. Click
Delete to remove a selected interface from
those listed. This editor has the following to configure:
-
Name —Select an interface to configure.
-
Interface Type —Select type of interface
-
Disable —Disable OSPF on this interface.
-
Passive —Do not run OSPF, but advertise it
-
Simple Password —Enter an authentication key, if you chose Simple as the authentication type
above this tab. This field does not appear if you select something else.
-
Hello Interval —1 - 255 seconds. Here, you can specify how often the router sends hello packets
out the interface. The hello interval must be the same for all routers on a shared logical IP
network.
-
Retransmit Interval —1 - 65535 seconds. This specifies how long the router waits to receive a
link-state acknowledgment packet before retransmitting link-state advertisements to
an interface's neighbors.
-
Metric —1 - 65535. Cost of an OSPF interface. The cost is a routing metric that is used in the
link-state calculation.
-
Dead Interval —1 - 65535 seconds. This specifies how long OSPF waits before declaring that a
neighboring router is unavailable. This is an interval during which the router receives no hello
packets from the neighbor.
-
Poll Interval —1 - 65535. For non broadcast interfaces only, specify how often the router sends
hello packets out of the interface before it establishes adjacency with a neighbor.
-
Transit Delay —1 - 65535 seconds. This sets the estimated time required to transmit a link-state
update on the interface. When calculating this time, you should account for transmission and
propagation delays.
-
Priority —Designated router priority (0 - 255).
BFD Liveness Detection
- Minimum Interval — Minimum transmit and receive interval (1 - 255000 milliseconds).
-
Minimum Receive Interval — 1 - 255000 milliseconds.
-
Minimum Transmit Interval —1 - 255000 milliseconds.
-
Multiplier — Detection time multiplier (1 - 255).
-
Neighbors —NBMA neighbor. Enter a neighbor in the bottom field, then click Add to add it to
those listed (or click
Delete to remove one from the list). Click Apply to accept the list.
