MD5 Key Settings

This window allows the entry of a 16-character Message Digest  version 5 (MD5) key that 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 windows below.
To configure an MD5 Key, click L3 Features > MD5 Key Settings, as shown below.
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 router's 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 Switch is also redistributed.
Entering the metric 0 specifies transparency.
This window will redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to all routers on the network that
are running OSPF or RIP.
To access the Route Redistribution Settings window, click L3 Features > Route Redistribution Settings, as shown below.

Used to set the maximum interval time between the dispatch of router advertisements by
this interface over the link-local network. This entry must be no less than 4 seconds (4000
milliseconds) and no more than 1800 seconds. The user may configure a time between 4
and 1800 seconds with a default setting of 600 seconds.
Used to set the minimum interval time between the dispatch of router advertisements by
this interface over the link-local network. This entry must be no less then 3 seconds and
no more than .75 (3/4) of the MaxRtrAdvInterval. The user may configure a time between
3 and 1350 seconds with a default setting of 198 seconds.

Description
A number from 1 to 255 used to identify the MD5 Key.
A alphanumeric string of between 1 and 16 case-sensitive characters used to generate the
Message Digest which is in turn, used to authenticate OSPF packets within the OSPF routing
domain.
