This field can be toggled between None, Simple, and MD5 using the space bar. This allows
a choice of authorization schemes for OSPF packets that may be exchanged over the OSPF
routing domain.
None specifies no authorization.
•
Simple uses a simple password to determine if the packets are from an authorized OSPF
•
router. When Simple is selected, the Auth Key field allows the entry of an 8-character
password that must be the same as a password configured on a neighbor OSPF router.
MD5 uses a cryptographic key entered in the MD5 Key Table Configuration menu. When
•
MD5 is selected, the Auth Key ID field allows the specification of the Key ID as defined in
the MD5 configuration above. This must be the same MD5 Key as used by the neighboring
router.
Enter a Key ID of up to 5 characters to set the Auth. Key ID for either the Simple Auth Type
or the MD5 Auth Type, as specified in the previous parameter.
This field allows the entry of a number between 1 and 65,535 that is representative of the
OSPF cost of reaching the selected OSPF interface. The default metric is 1.
A read only field describing the Designated Router state of the IP interface. This field many
read DR if the interface is the designated router, or Backup DR if the interface is the Backup
Designated Router. The highest IP address will be the Designated Router and is determined
by the OSPF Hello Protocol of the Switch.
The IP address of the aforementioned Designated Router.
The IP address of the aforementioned Backup Designated Router.
A read only field that denotes the estimated time to transmit a Link State Update Packet over
this interface, in seconds.
A read only field that denotes the time between LSA retransmissions over this interface, in
seconds.
