OSPF Area

The SLM-5650A NP Interface supports only one OSPF Area at a time. A group of

(adjacent) routers which cooperate by exchanging their routing data base for the

specified network range; i.e. an OSPF router will only send its database to other

routers that advertise that they are in the same area.

Valid range is from 0 to 4294967295.

Cost

Specify the explicit cost of sending a packet via this interface.

Valid range is from 1 to 65535.

Retransmit Interval

Specify the number of seconds between link state advertisement retransmissions for

adjacencies belonging to an OSPF interface.

Transmit Delay

Parameters used to define the route to the destination network.

Valid range is from 1 to 65535 seconds.

Priority

Set priority to help determine the OSPF.

Valid range is 0 (default, or not designated) to 255.

Hello Interval

Specify the length of time, in seconds, between the hello packets that are sent on an

OSPF interface.

Valid range is from 1 to 65535 seconds.

Dead Interval

Set the number of seconds that a device’s ‘Hello’ packets must not have been seen

before its neighbors declare the OSPF router down.

Valid range is from 1 to 65535 seconds.

Authentication Key

Assign a specific password to be used by neighboring OSPF routers on a network

segment that is using OSPF’s simple password authentication.
