The OSPF Interface tab describes the following:

OSPF State
OSPF
An OSPF enabled access point sends hello packets to discover neighbors and elect a designated
router for dynamic links. The hello packet includes link state data maintained on each access point
and is periodically updated on all OSPF members. The access point tracks link state information to
help assess the health of the OSPF dynamic route.
To view OSPF state statistics:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
Interface Name Displays the IP addresses and mask defined as the virtual interface for dynamic OSPF routes. Zero
config and DHCP can be used to generate route addresses, or a primary and secondary address
can be manually provided.
Interface Index Lists the numerical index used for the OSPF interface. This interface ID is in the hello packets
establishing the OSPF network connection.
Bandwidth Lists the OSPF interface bandwidth (in Kbps) in the range of 1 - 10,000,000.
Interface Flag Displays the flag used to determine the interface status.
MTU Lists the OSPF interface maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. The MTU is the largest physical
packet size (in bytes) a network can transmit. Any packets larger than the MTU are divided into
smaller packets before being sent.
OSPF Enabled Lists whether OSPF has been enabled for each listed interface. OSPF is disabled by default.
UP/DOWN Displays whether the OSPF interface (the dynamic route) is currently up or down for each listed
interface. An OSPF interface is the connection between a router and one of its attached networks.
