Description
Enter the priority for the Designated Router election. If a Router Priority of 0 is set,
the Switch cannot be elected as the DR for the network.
Enter the interface metric used.
Select the authentication used. Options to choose from are None, Simple and MD5.
When choosing Simple authentication, a password must be entered. When choosing
MD5 authentication, a Key ID must be entered.
Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable the administrative state.
Enter the area to which the interface is assigned. An Area ID is a 32-bit number in the
form of an IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that uniquely identifies the OSPF area in the
OSPF domain.
Enter the specification of the interval between the transmissions of OSPF Hello
packets, in seconds. The Hello Interval, Dead Interval, Authorization Type, and
Authorization Key should be the same for all routers on the same network.
Enter the specification of the length of time between the receipts of Hello packets
from a neighbor router before the selected area declares that router down. The Dead
Interval must be evenly divisible by the Hello Interval.
When Simple is selected in the Authentication drop-down menu, enter a simple text
password.
Assign the designated entry to be a passive interface. A passive interface will not
advertise to any other routers than those within its OSPF intranet.
Select the network type of OSPF interface (loopback interface does not support this
option). Options to choose from are Broadcast and Point-to-Point.
