All neighboring routers on the same network must have the same password configured to be able
to exchange OSPF information.

Specifies the number of seconds that a router must wait to receive a hello
packet before declaring the neighbor as "dead" and removing it from the
OSPF neighbor list. Dead interval must be the same on neighboring routers
(on a specific subnet), but can vary between subnets. This parameter is an
unsigned integer ranging from 1 to 65535. Default value is 40 seconds.

strings up to 8 characters in length.
