Configuring the OSPF Protocol
Chapter 370
Figure 3-6 shows an example of a router that is connected to a multicast
network through the interface 193.2.1.35.
Figure 3-6 Multicast Router Interface Example
The following is an example of the multicast interface definition in the
router’s /etc/gated.conf file:
interface 193.2.1.35 cost 5 {
enable ;
priority 15 ;
hellointerval 5 ;
routerdeadinterval 20 ;
retransmitinterval 10 ;
};
Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA) Interface On NBMA
networks, you must supply the configuration information, including the
routers that are attached to the network, so that the OSPF’s Hello
protocol communicates with neighbor routers. An NBMA interface
definition applies to both X.25 network interfaces and systems that do
not support IP multicasting. You can define an NBMA interface using the
multicast interface statements, with the following additions:
• You must specify the clause nonbroadcast in the interface
statement.
• pollinterval specifies a rate at which hellos are sent when a
neighboring router becomes inactive (a router is considered inactive
when hellos are not received from the router for the amount of time
