Displays the physical network interface on which OSPFv2 is Enabled/Disabled.
Enter the area to which the interface belongs. Two routers having a common segment; their interfaces
have to belong to the same area on that segment. The interfaces should belong to the same subnet and
have similar mask.
Helps to determine the OSPFv2 designated router for a network. The router with the highest priority
will be more eligible to become Designated Router. Setting the value to 0 makes the router ineligible to
become Designated Router. The default value is 1. Lower the value means higher the priority.
The number of seconds for Hello Interval timer value. Enter the number in seconds that the Hello packet
will be sent. This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network. The default
value is 10 seconds.
The number of seconds that a device's hello packets must not have been seen before its neighbors
declare the OSPF router down. This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common
network. The default value is 40 seconds. OSPF requires these intervals to be exactly the same between
two neighbors. If any of these intervals are different, these routers will not become neighbors on a
particular segment.
Enter the cost of sending a packet on an OSPFv2 interface.
Select one of the following authentication types:
• None: The interface does not authenticate OSPF packets.
• Simple: OSPF packets are authenticated using simple text key.
• MD5: The interface authenticates OSPF packets with MD5 authentication.
If MD5 authentication is selected, enter the MD5 key ID.
If MD5 authentication is selected, enter the MD5 authentication key.
