OSPF Overview
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol that supports IP
subnetting and authentication. The Internet Appliance (IA) supports OSPF Version 2.0 as
defined in RFC 1583. Each link-state message contains all the links connected to the router
with a specified cost associated with the link.
The IA supports the following OSPF functions:
•
Stub Areas: Definition of stub areas is supported.
•
Authentication: Simple password and MD5 authentication methods are supported
within an area.
•
Virtual Links: Virtual links are supported.
•
Route Redistribution: Routes learned via RIP, BGP, or any other sources can be
redistributed into OSPF. OSPF routes can be redistributed into RIP or BGP.
•
Interface Parameters: Parameters that can be configured include interface output cost,
retransmission interval, interface transmit delay, router priority, router dead and hello
intervals, and authentication key.
