This table describes the OSPF tab items.
Enable
Enable or disable OSPF routing on the specified interface
HelloInterval
The length of time, in seconds, between the Hello packets that the router sends on the interface. This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network.
RtrDeadInterval
The number of seconds that a router's Hello packets have not been seen before it's neighbors declare the router down. This should be some multiple of the Hello interval. This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network.
DesigRtrPriority
The priority of this interface. Used in multi access networks, this field is used in the designated router election algorithm. The value 0 signifies that the router is not eligible to become the designated router on this particular network. In the event of a tie in this value, routers will use their router id as a tie breaker.
Metric
The metric for this type of service (TOS) on this interface. The default value of the TOS 0 Metric is (10^9 / interface speed). The value FFFF means there is no route for this TOS. A value of 0 means the interface speed will be used as the metric value, when the state of the interface is up.
AuthType
The authentication type specified for an interface. Additional authentication types may be assigned locally.
AuthKey
The Authentication Key. If the area's Authorization Type is simplePassword, and the key length is shorter than 8 octets, the agent will left adjust and zero fill to 8 octets. When read, ospfIfAuthKey always returns an Octet String of length zero.
AreaID
A 32-bit integer uniquely identifying the area to which the interface connects. Area ID 0.0.0.0 is used for the OSPF backbone.
AdvertiseWhenDown
The value is used to indicate whether the VLAN state change should be notified to layer 3 or not, provided the VLAN is configured as a routable interface also used for single routable ports. In that case the criteria for state is PortOperStatus. The VLAN is considered up if at least one member of the port based VLAN has linked up, or at least one port member of the policy based VLAN has an entry in the MGID or at least one static member of the policy based VLAN has linked up. Otherwise, the VLAN is considered DOWN. If the value is "true" then the interface state change will not be notified to layer 3. (i.e., it always stays up). If the value is "false" then the VLAN state change will be notified to layer 3 so that the IP related status reflects the routable interface state.
