Sets the authorization key for the VLAN.
• <string> is key of a string with up to eight
characters.
authentication-type
<auth-type>
Sets the OSPF authentication type for the VLAN.
• <auth-type> is none, simple password, or MD5
authentication. If simple, all OSPF updates
received by the VLAN must contain the
authentication key specified by the
area
authentication-key
command. If MD5, they must
contain the md5 key.
disable Disables OSPF on the VLAN.
dead-interval <seconds> Sets the OSPF dead interval for the VLAN, the number
of seconds the switch’s OSPF neighbors should wait
before assuming that this OSPF router is down.
• <seconds> is the range from 1 to 2147483647.
This value must be at least four times the hello
interval value. The default is 40.
enable Enables OSPF on the VLAN.
hello-interval <seconds> Sets the OSPF hello interval for the VLAN, the number
of seconds between hello packets sent on this VLAN.
• <seconds> is the range 1 to 65535. The default is
10.
metric <cost> Sets the OSPF metric for the VLAN. The switch
advertises the metric in router link advertisements.
• <seconds> is the range 0 to 65535. The default is
0.
priority <integer> Sets the OSPF priority for the VLAN during the election
process for the designated router. The VLAN with the
highest priority number is the best candidate for the
designated router. If the priority is 0, the VLAN cannot
become either the designated router or a backup. The
priority is used only during election of the designated
router and backup designated router.
• <integer> is the range 0 to 255. The default is 1.
Note: Both sides of the OSPF connection must use the same authentication
type and key.
