DESCRIPTION
Select an authentication method (Simple or MD5) to activate
authentication. Select None (default) to disable authentication.
Usually interface(s) and virtual interface(s) should use the same
authentication method as the associated area. If interface(s) and virtual
interface(s) use different authentication methods than the associated area,
the authentication methods are based on the interface(s) and virtual
interface(s) settings.
Select this option to set the area as a stub area.
If you enter 0.0.0.0 in the Area ID field, the settings in the Stub Area
fields are ignored.
Select this option to set the Switch to not send/receive LSAs.
Specify a cost (between 0 and 16777214) used to add a default route into
a stub area for routes which are external to an OSPF domain. If you do not
set a route cost, no default route is added.
Click Add to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Click Clear to set the above fields back to the factory defaults.
