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
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
divisable by the Hello Interval.
State
Allows the OSPF interface to be
disabled for the selected area
without changing the configuration
for that area.
Auth Type
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
