Description
Configure OSPF on the VLAN interface.
Syntax
Parameter Description Range Default
area
Enable OSPF on a specific
interface by entering the IP
address of the router that will
use OSPF.
authentication message-digest
Set the OSPF authentication
mode to message digest.

dead-interval <seconds>
Set the elapse interval (seconds)
since the last hello-packet was
received from the router. After
the interval elapses, the
neighboring routers declare the
router dead.

hello-interval <seconds>
Set the elapse interval (seconds)
between hello packets sent on

Set the priority number of the
interface to determine the DR.
0 to 255 1
retransmit-interval <seconds>
Set the retransmission time
between link state
advertisements for adjacencies
belonging to the interface.
NOTE: Set the time interval long
enough to prevent unnecessary
retransmissions.

transmit-delay <seconds>
Set the elapse time before
retransmitting link state update
packets on the interface.

Usage Guidelines
When configuring OSPF over multiple vendors, use this command to ensure that all routers use the same cost.
Otherwise, OSPF may route improperly.
