Configuring Individual WAN Connections
The Connection profile
Parameter
MD5 Key
More OSPF parameters
The following parameters in the Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > OSPF Options
subprofile further define the OSPF link and the packets traveling on this link:
Parameter
Cost
ASE-Type
ASE-Tag
TransitDelay
Retransmit Interval
NonMulticast
Telco Options
The Ethernet > Connections > Connection profile > IPX Options subprofile includes the
following parameters that define whether the MAX unit enables incoming calls, outgoing calls,
or both for a connection, whether the unit calls back the remote end, whether the unit expects
outgoing calls, and the type of connection for the call:
Parameter
AnsOrig
Callback
4-38
Specifies
An authentication key (a password) used to allow OSPF routing. MD5
Key is a number from 0 to 255 inserted into the OSPF packet header.
OSPF routers use MD5 Key to allow or exclude packets from an area.
The default value is 0. The key can contain as many as 16 characters.
Specifies
The cost of an OSPF link. The cost is a configurable metric that must
take into account the speed of the link and other issues. The lower the
cost, the more likely the interface will be used to forward data traffic.
The OSPF ASE type of the Link-State Advertisement (LSA).
The OSPF ASE tag of this link. The tag is a 32-bit hexadecimal
number attached to each external route. This field is not used by the
OSPF protocol itself. It may be used by border routers to filter this
record.
The estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a Link State
Update (LSU) Packet over this interface. Before transmission, LSAs
contained in the LSU packet have their ages incremented by the
amount you specify.
The number of seconds between retransmissions of OSPF packets.
OSPF uses this value for LSA transmissions and when retransmitting
Database Description and Link State Request packets.
Whether all multicast packets are remapped to a directed neighbor
address.
Specifies
Whether or not the unit enables incoming calls, outgoing calls, or both,
for this connection.
The callback feature. When you enable the callback feature, the unit
hangs up after receiving an incoming call that matches the one
specified in the Connection profile. The unit then calls back the device
at the remote end of the link using the Dial # specified in the
Connection profile.
