OSPF Router Configuration
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
{A.B.C.D} | Specifies the transit area ID in dotted decimal notation (A.B.C.D) |
|
<nghbr-routerid> | Specifies the neighbor router ID in dotted decimal notation (A.B.C.D) |
|
authentication-key <WORD> | Specifies the unique identifier assigned to the authentication key |
|
authentication-type {message-digest | none | simple} | Specifies one of the following authentication types: message-digest (MD5), none, simple (simple password authentication type) |
|
dead-interval <1-2147483647> | Specifies the time interval, in seconds, that a Hello packet has not been transmitted from the virtual interface before its neighbors declare it down. Expressed as an integer from 1-2147483647, the default dead interval value is 60 seconds |
|
hello-interval <1-65535> | Specifies the time interval, in seconds, between transmission of Hello packets from the virtual interface. Expressed as an integer from 1-65535, the hello-interval default value is 10 seconds |
|
primary-md5-key <1-255> | Specifies the user-selected key used to encrypt OSPF protocol packets for transmission. |
|
retransmit-interval <1-3600> | Specifies the time interval, in seconds, between link stage advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to the virtual interface. Expressed as an integer from 1-3600, the default value is 5 seconds. |
|
transit-delay <1-3600> | Specifies the estimated number of seconds required to transmit a link state update packet over the virtual interface. Expressed as an integer from 1-3600, the default value is 1 second. |
