Interfaces tab fields


Field Description
IpAddress
IP address of the current OSPF interface
AddressLessIf
Designates whether an interface has an IP address. Interfaces with an IP address = 0
Interfaces without IP address = ifIndex

AreaId
Dotted decimal value to designate the OSPF area name.
Note: The area name is not related to an IP address. You can use any value for the OSPF area name (for example, 1.1.1.1 or 200.200.200.200).
Type
Type of OSPF interface (broadcast, or passive)
AdminStat
Current administrative state of the OSPF interface (enabled or disabled).
Rtrpriority
OSPF priority for the interface during the election process for the designated router. The interface with the highest priority number is the designated router. The interface with the second-highest priority becomes the backup designated router. If the priority is 0, the interface cannot become either the designated router nor a backup. The priority is used only during election of the designated router and backup designated router. The range is 0 to 255. The default is 1.
TransitDelay
Length of time, in seconds between 1 and 3600, required to transmit an LSA update packet over the interface.
RetransInterval
Length of time, in seconds between 1 and 3600, required between LSA retransmissions.
HelloInterval
Length of time, in seconds, between hello packets. Neighbors must have the same HelloInterval value.
RtrDeadInterval
Time elapsed, in seconds, from receipt of the last hello packet before the router is presumed to be inactive. Neighbors must have the same RtrDeadInterval value.
PollInterval
Length of time, in seconds, between hello packets sent to an inactive OSPF router. Neighbors must have the same PollInterval value.
State
Current state of the OSPF interface (Down, Attempt, Init, 2-way, Exstart, Exchange, Loading, Full)
DesignatedRouter
IP address of the router elected by the Hello Protocol to send link state advertisements on behalf of the NBMA network.
BackupDesignatedRouter
IP address of the router elected by the Hello Protocol to send link state advertisements on behalf of the NBMA network if the designated router fails.
Events
Number of state changes or error events that have occurred through all interfaces.
AuthType
Type of authentication required for the interface.
  • none = No authentication required.
  • simple password = All OSPF updates received by the interface must contain the authentication key specified in the interface AuthKey field.
  • MD5 authentication = All OSPF updates received by the interface must contain the md5 key.
AuthKey
Key (up to 8 characters) required when simple password authentication is specified in the interface AuthType field.
