Select Simple and set the Key field to authenticate OSPF packets transmitted through this interface using simple password authentication. Select MD5 and set the Key ID and Key fields to authenticate OSPF packets transmitted through this interface using MD5 authentication. When you select MD5 in the Authentication field, specify the identification number of the authentication you want to use. When you select Simple in the Authentication field, enter a password eightcharacter long. Characters after the eighth character will be ignored. When you select MD5 in the Authentication field, enter a password 16-character long. The interface cost is used for calculating the routing table. Enter a number between 0 and 65535. The default interface cost is 15. The priority you assign to the interface is used in router elections to decide which router is going to be the Designated Router (DR) or the Backup Designated Router (BDR). You can assign a number between 0 and 255. A priority of 0 means that the router will not participate in router elections. Click Add to save your changes to the switch's run-time memory. The switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
