not the cluster.
Note
When running OSPF on a HA Cluster there is a
need for a private master and private slave Router
ID as well as the shared Router ID.
Reference Bandwidth
Set the reference bandwidth that is used when calculating the
default interface cost for routes.
If bandwidth is used instead of specifying a metric on an OSPF
Interface, the cost is calculated using the following formula:
cost = reference bandwidth / bandwidth
RFC 1583 Compatibility
Enable this if the NetDefend Firewall will be used in a
environment that consists of routers that only support RFC 1583.
Debug
Protocol debug provides a troubleshooting tool by logging OSPF protocol specific information to
the log.
• Off - Nothing is logged.
• Low - Logs all actions.
• Medium - Logs all actions that Low logs but with more detail.
• High - Logs everything with most detail.
Note
When using the High setting, the firewall will log a lot of information, even when just
connected to a small AS. Changing the advanced setting Log Send Per Sec Limit may
be required.
Authentication
OSPF supports the following authentication options:
No (null) authentication
No authentication is used for OSPF protocol exchanges.
Passphrase
A simple password is used to authenticate all the OSPF
protocol exchanges.
MD5 Digest
MD5 authentication consists of a key ID and 128-bit key.
When MD5 digest is used the specified key is used to produce
the 128-bit MD5 digest.
This does NOT mean that the OSPF packets are encrypted. If
the OSPF traffic needs to be encrypted then they must be sent
using a VPN. For example, using IPsec. Sending OSPF
packets through an IPsec tunnel is discussed further in
Section 4.5.5, “Setting Up OSPF”.
