Configuring OSPF Parameters for Individual Interfaces

Advanced OSPF configuration also allows you to:
enable authentication (you must set the key in the CLI)
set the cost for a link
set OSPF timers for individual interfaces
Complete these steps
1. Move to the main OSPF windows.
2. Move to the Advanced OSPF Configuration window and click the
Advanced button.
3. The Interface OSPF Configuration window displays interfaces running
OSPF. Select an interface to move to configure OSPF options for it.
4. You can enable authentication on the subnet to which the interface
connects. (OSPF authentication helps to ensure that routers do not mis-
takenly join the wrong area and to prevent rogue devices from joining your
network.) However, currently you must configure the key in the CLI.
Select either Authentication Key or Message Digest Key from the Authen-
tication Type pull-down menu.
To disable authentication (the default), select None from the pull-down
menu.
5. If so desired, you can manually set the cost, or metric, for the link. (OSPF
automatically calculates a cost based on the interface's bandwidth.) Enter
a value between 0 and 65535 in the Cost field.
