Type Select 1 for routing protocols (such as RIP) whose external metrics are directly
comparable to the internal OSPF cost. When selecting a path, the internal OSPF cost
is added to the AB boundary router to the external metrics.
Select 2 for routing protocols whose external metrics are not comparable to the OSPF
cost. In this case, the external cost of the AB boundary router is used in path decision
to a destination.
Metric Value Enter a route cost (between 0 and 16777214).

OSPF
Configuration
Index This field displays the index number of an area.
Name This field displays the descriptive name of an area.
Area ID This field displays the area ID (that uses the format of an IP address in dotted decimal
notation) that uniquely identifies an area.
An area ID of 0.0.0.0 indicates the backbone.
Authentication This field displays the authentication method used (None, Simple or MD5).
Stub Network This field displays whether an area is a stub network (Yes) or not (No).
Add Click Add to create a new OSPF area.
Modify Click Modify to change the settings of the selected OSPF area.
Delete Click Delete to remove the selected OSPF area.
Virtual Link
Index This field displays an index number of an entry.
Name This field displays a descriptive name of a virtual link.
Peer Router ID This field displays the ID (that uses the format of an IP address in dotted decimal
notation) of a peer border router.
Authentication This field displays the authentication method used (Same-as-Area, None, Simple or
MD5).
Key ID When the Authentication field displays MD5, this field displays the identification
number of the key used.
Add Click Add to create a new OSPF virtual link.
Modify Click Modify to change the settings of the selected OSPF virtual link.
Delete Click Delete to remove the selected OSPF virtual link.
Interface
Index This field displays the index number for an interface.
Network This field displays the IP interface information.
Area ID This field displays the area ID (that uses the format of an IP address in dotted decimal
notation) of an area to associate the interface to that area.
Authentication This field displays the authentication method used (Same-as-Area, None, Simple or
MD5).
Key ID When the Authentication field displays MD5, this field displays the identification
number of the key used.
Cost This field displays the interface cost used for calculating the routing table.
Add Click Add to create a new OSPF interface.
