MD5 Key Table Configuration
The MD5 Key Table Configuration menu allows the entry of a sixteen character Message Digest − version 5 (MD5) key
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:

Click Apply to enter the new Key ID settings. To delete a Key ID entry, click the corresponding
heading.
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 − OSPF and the Static Route table. Routing information will be redistributed to RIP. The
following table lists the allowed values for the routing metrics and the types (or forms) of the routing information that will
be redistributed.

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.
