can only be modified. There will be one entry in this table for each IP
address assigned to the Multiprotocol Interconnect modules ports.
To modify the parameters on this panel, you must select the
Modify Entry
option. A pop-up menu will be displayed which allows you to change the
following parameters for each IP interface:
IP Address
This parameter specifies the IP address of the port. This parameter must
be one of the IP addresses currently displayed on the panel.
Port
This parameter specifies the port number associated with this interface.
Area ID
This parameter specifies the
area
to which the port connects.
Type
This parameter specifies the type of network to which the interface is
connected. The choices are:
broadcast
Broadcast networks such as TR and Ethernet LANs
nbma
Non-broadcast multi-access networks such as X.25 and Frame Relay
PointToPoint
Point-to-Point links
AdminStat
This parameter enables/disables OSPF on this port. Note that OSPF
should also be enabled at the module level for the port to use OSPF.
When disabled, the interface is external to OSPF.
Priority
This parameter specifies the priority of this interface. In a multi-access
network, this parameter is used for
designated router
selection. A value
of 0 indicates that the router is not eligible to become designated router
on this particular network. In the event of a tie, the router ID will be
used as a tie breaker.
Trans Delay
This field specifies the estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit
a packet over this interface.
RetranInt
This field specifies the length of time in seconds between link-state
advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to this
interface. This value is also used when retransmitting OSPF packets.
HelloInt
This parameter specifies the frequency with which the OSPF Hello
packets are sent on this interface.
