17. Configuring Dynamic Routing
Revision 1.14.3 167 RX1000/RX1100™
The Hostname field sets the hostname for the core daemon. This value is only used as a a reference
for convenience. The telnet interface prompt will contain this hostname. The router's system wide
hostname is used if this field is left blank.
The Router ID field sets the router-id to use for the core daemon. This value is used as a unique
identifier for the dynamic routing protocol to identify which router sent which route advertisement. By
default it uses the highest IP assigned to an interface on the router. It is recommended that this value
be set to a unique fixed IP on each router. Note that this value is used by both OSPF and by BGP if
not overridden under the global configuration for each protocol.
17.2.2.2. Core Interface Parameters
Parameters specific to one interface are configured here.
Figure 17.6. Core Interface Parameters
Each interface on the router is listed. Clicking on settings displays a menu of configuration options
for that interface. Clicking on status displays the current status of the interface, including link state,
IP address and traffic counts.
Clicking “Remove inactive interfaces” purges the list of any interfaces which are no longer configured
on the router.
The Bandwidth field sets the bandwidth value to assume for the interface when automatically
calculating a cost for using the link on this interface. By default all interfaces are treated as 10Mbit
(10000 Kbps). OSPF by default uses an automatic cost of 10 for all links by calculating is as reference
bandwidth (100Mbit) divided by the link bandwidth (10Mbit). If a manual cost is assigned to the
interface in OSPF, this value is ignored. RIP does not use this parameter.
