Md5 Key Table Configuration; Route Redistribution Settings - D-Link DGS-3324SRi User Manual

MD5 Key Table Configuration

The MD5 Key Table Configuration menu allows the entry of a sixteen character Message Digest
which can be used to authenticate every packet exchanged between OSPF routers. It is used as a security mechanism to
limit the exchange of network topology information to the OSPF routing domain.
MD5 Keys created here can be used in the OSPF menu below.
To configure an MD5 Key, click the MD5 Key link to open the following dialog box:
The following fields can be set:

Route Redistribution Settings

Route redistribution allows routers on the network, which are running different routing protocols to exchange routing
information. This is accomplished by comparing the routes stored in the various routers routing tables and assigning
appropriate metrics. This information is then exchanged among the various routers according to the individual routers
current routing protocol. The Switch can redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to
all routers on the network that are running OSPF or RIP. Routing information entered into the Static Routing Table on the
local xStack switch is also redistributed.
Routing information source
following table lists the allowed values for the routing metrics and the types (or forms) of the routing information that will
be redistributed.
