Retransmit Interval:
The retransmit interval for the specified interface. This is the
number of seconds between link-
state advertisements for
adjacencies belon
ging to this router interface. This value is
also used when retransmitting database descriptions 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 specif
ied 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
sp
ecifies how long a router will wait to see a neighbor router's
Hello packets before declaring 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 seconds.
Transmit Delay:
The Transit Delay for the specified interface. This specifies the
estimated 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:
Sets the OSPF network type. The default network type for
Ethernet interfaces is broadcast.
Passive Mode: Mak
e an interface passive to prevent OSPF from forming an
adjacency on an interface. OSPF advertises networks
attached to passive interfaces as stub networks. Interfaces are
not passive by default.
MTU Ignore: Disables OSPF MTU mismatch detection on received
database description packets. Default value is Disable (MTU
mismatch detection is enabled).
Database Filter: To prevent outgoing link-
state advertisements (LSAs) flooding
out of an OSPF interface. The default is Disable, all outgoing
LSAs are flooded out of the interface.
Authentication
Type:
The authentication type of interface. The choices are:
default
: The authentication type is same with the
associated area's authentication type.
null: No authentication.
simple: Use simple password.
md5: Use md5 message-digest algorithm.
Authentication Key
ID:
When you select md5, the key ID should be entered. The valid
value ranges from 1 to 255.
Authentication Key:
Specify the authentication key. The length of simple key is no
more than 8 characters, and md5 key i
s no more than 16
characters.
