13.3 OSPF Overview
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First, RFC 2328) is a link-state protocol designed to distribute
routing information within a group of networks, called an Autonomous System (AS). OSPF
offers some advantages over vector-space routing protocols like RIP.
• OSPF supports variable-length subnet masks, which can be set up to use available IP
addresses more efficiently.

DESCRIPTION
Select the authentication method used in the RIP network. Choices are: None,
Text, and MD5.
This field is available if the Authentication is Text. Type the password for text
authentication. The key can consist of alphanumeric characters and the
underscore, and it can be up to 8 characters long.
This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the ID for MD5
authentication. The ID can be between 1 and 255.
This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the password for MD5
authentication. The password can consist of alphanumeric characters and the
underscore, and it can be up to 16 characters long.
Select this check box to advertise routes that were learned from the indicated
Name.
This field displays other sources of routing information that the ZyWALL can
advertise in the RIP network.
Type the cost for routes provided by the indicated source. The metric represents
the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. RIP routing uses hop count as the
measurement of cost, with 1 usually used for directly connected networks. The
number does not have to be precise, but it must be between 0 and 16. In practice,
2 or 3 is usually used.
