E.7.5.6.2 Routing | OSPF
Use this page to define the operating parameters for Open Shortest Path First routing.
OSPF Parameters
Enter the operating parameters for the OSPF Interface. Valid ranges are provided in parentheses.
OSPF – Select the OSPF operating interface as Disabled or Enabled.
Area Network Address – Enter the IP address for the area.
Area Subnet Mask (8-30) – Enter the subnet mask for the area.
OSPF Area (0 - 4294967295) – An area is a set of networks and hosts within an Autonomous
System (AS) that have been administratively grouped together. The SLM-5650A NP Interface
supports only one OSPF Area at a time. A group of (adjacent) routers which cooperate by
exchanging their routing data base for the specified network range – i.e., an OSPF router – will only
send its database to other routers that advertise that they are in the same area.
Cost (1 - 65535) – Enter the explicit cost of sending a packet via this interface.
Retransmit Interval (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the number of seconds between link state
advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to an OSPF interface.
Transmit Delay (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the parameters used to define the route to the
destination network.
Priority (0 - 255) – Set the priority to help determine the OSPF. Note that 0, or not designated, is
the default value.
Hello Interval (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the number seconds between the 'Hello' packets that
are sent on an OSPF interface.
Dead Interval (1 - 65535 seconds) – Enter the number seconds that a device's 'Hello' packets
must not have been seen before its neighbors declare the OSPF router down.
