The following entries are displayed on this screen:

Interface Table
Select: Select the desired item for configuration. It is multi-optional.
Interface: The interface for which data is to be displayed or configured.
IP Address/Mask: The IP address and subnet mask of the interface.
Process: The process to which the interface belongs.
Area ID: The area to which a router interface connects.
Router Priority:
The router priority for the selected interface. The priority of an
interface is specified as an integer from 0 to 255. A value of '0'
indicates that the router is not eligible to become the
designated router on this network. The default is 1.
Retransmit Interval:
The retransmit interval for the specified interface. This is the
number of seconds between link-
state advertisements for
adjacencies belonging to this router interface. This value is
also used when retransmitting database desc
riptions and
link-
state request packets. The valid value ranges from 1 to
65535 seconds and the default is 5 seconds.
Hello Interval:
The hello interval for the specified interface in seconds. This
parameter must be the same for all routers attached to a
network. The valid value ranges from 1 to 65535 seconds and
the default is 10 seconds.
Dead Interval:
The dead interval for the specified interface in seconds. This
specifies how long a router will wait to see a neighbor router's
Hello packets before decl
aring that the router is down. This
parameter must be the same for all routers attached to a
network. The valid value ranges from 1 to 65535 seconds and
the default is 40.
Transmit Delay:
The Transit Delay for the specified interface. This specifies the
e
stimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link state
update packet over the selected interface. The valid value
ranges from 1 to 65535 seconds and the default is 1 second.
Cost:
The link cost. OSPF uses this value in computing shortest
paths. The valid value ranges from 1 to 65535.
Network Type:
The OSPF network type on the interface. The default network
type for Ethernet interfaces is broadcast.
