OSPF Interface Configuration NOTE: This form is available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch. To display the following form, go to the OSPF Interfaces Configuration form. Select an interface number, or open the OSPF Interfaces folder and click Add OSPF Interface. The following table describes the OSPF Interface Configuration controls: Table 150 OSPF Interface Configuration controls Control Descriptions IP Interface Identifier (1-256) Area Number (0-2) Enabled? Router Priority (0-255) Output Cost (1-65535) Hello Interval (1-65535 sec) Dead Interval (1-65535 sec) Transit Delay (1-3600 sec) Retransmit Interval (1-3600 sec) Authentication Key MD5 Key ID (1-255) Assigns a numeric identifier to the OSPF IP interface. Defines the area index used by the interface. Enables or disables the OSPF interface. Displays the assigned priority value to the OSPF interfaces. (A priority value of 127 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. A priority value of 0 specifies that the interface cannot be used as Designated Router (DR) or Backup Designated Router (BDR).) Displays cost set for the selected path-preferred or backup. Usually the cost is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of the interface. Low cost indicates high bandwidth. Displays the interval in seconds between the hello packets for the interfaces. Displays the health parameters of a hello packet, which is set for an interval of seconds before declaring a silent router to be down. Displays the transit delay in seconds. Displays the retransmit interval in seconds. Sets the authentication key to clear the password. Assigns an MD5 key to the interface. Configuring the switch 182

OSPF Interface Configuration
NOTE:
This form is available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.
To display the following form, go to the OSPF Interfaces Configuration form. Select an interface number, or open
the OSPF Interfaces folder and click
Add OSPF Interface
.
The following table describes the OSPF Interface Configuration controls:
Table 150
OSPF Interface Configuration controls
Control
Descriptions
IP Interface Identifier (1-256)
Assigns a numeric identifier to the OSPF IP interface.
Area Number (0-2)
Defines the area index used by the interface.
Enabled?
Enables or disables the OSPF interface.
Router Priority (0-255)
Displays the assigned priority value to the OSPF interfaces.
(A priority value of 127 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. A priority value of 0 specifies
that the interface cannot be used as Designated Router (DR) or Backup Designated Router
(BDR).)
Output Cost (1-65535)
Displays cost set for the selected path—preferred or backup. Usually the cost is inversely
proportional to the bandwidth of the interface. Low cost indicates high bandwidth.
Hello Interval (1-65535 sec)
Displays the interval in seconds between the
hello
packets for the interfaces.
Dead Interval (1-65535 sec)
Displays the health parameters of a
hello
packet, which is set for an interval of seconds
before declaring a silent router to be down.
Transit Delay (1-3600 sec)
Displays the transit delay in seconds.
Retransmit Interval (1-3600 sec)
Displays the retransmit interval in seconds.
Authentication Key
Sets the authentication key to clear the password.
MD5 Key ID (1-255)
Assigns an MD5 key to the interface.
