DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
Interface
Name:[System ]
Allows the entry of the name of an IP interface previously
configured on the switch.
Area ID:[0.0.0.0]
Allows the entry of an OSPF Area ID configured above.
Router Priority:[1] Allows the entry of a number between 0 and 255
representing the OSPF priority of the selected area. If a
Router Priority of 0 is selected, the switch cannot be elected
as the Designated Router for the network.
Hello Interval:[10 ]
Allows the specification of the interval between the
transmission of OSPF Hello packets, in seconds. Between 5
and 65535 seconds can be specified. The Hello Interval, Dead
Interval, Authorization Type, and Authorization Key should
be the same for all routers on the same network.
Dead Interval:[40 ]
Allows the specification of the length of time between the
receipt of Hello packets from a neighbor router before the
selected area declares that router down. An interval between
5 and 65535 seconds can be specified. The Dead Interval
must be evenly divisible by the Hello Interval.
State:<Disabled>
Allows the OSPF interface to be disabled for the selected area
without changing the configuration for that area.
Auth. Type:<None> This field can be toggled between None, Simple, and MD5
using the space bar. This allows a choice of authorization
schemes for OSPF packets that may be exchanged over the
OSPF routing domain. None specifies no authorization.
Simple uses a simple password to determine if the packets
are from an authorized OSPF router. When Simple is
selected, the Auth Key field allows the entry of a 8 character
password that must be the same as a password configured
on a neighbor OSPF router. MD5 uses a cryptographic key
entered in the MD5 Key Table Configuration menu. When
MD5 is selected, the Auth Key ID field allows the
specification of the Key ID as defined in the MD5
configuration above. This must be the same MD5 Key as
used by the neighboring router.
Auth. Key:[ ]
MD5 uses a cryptographic key entered in the MD5 Key
Table Configuration screen. When MD5 is selected, the
Auth. Key ID field allows the specification of the Key ID as
defined in the MD5 configuration above. This must be the
same MD5 Key as used by the neighboring router.
Metric:[1 ]
This field allows the entry of a number between 1 and 65,535
that is representative of the OSPF cost of reaching the
selected OSPF interface. The default metric is 1.
