14.3 The OSPF Screen

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
ZyWALL USG 20/20W User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Select the authentication method used in the RIP network. This
authentication protects the integrity, but not the confidentiality, of
routing updates.
None uses no authentication.
Text uses a plain text password that is sent over the network (not
very secure).
MD5 uses an MD5 password and authentication ID (most secure).
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 16 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 to use RIP to advertise routes that were learned through
OSPF.
Type the cost for routes provided by OSPF. 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.
Select this to use RIP to advertise routes that were learned through
the static route configuration.
Type the cost for routes provided by the static route configuration.
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.
