IP, MLT OSPF tab fields


Field Description
Enable
Enable checkbox--when checked, enables OSPF on the MLT.
HelloInterval
Sets the OSPF hello interval, which is the number of seconds between hello packets sent on this interface.
  • sec is an integer value in the range 1 and 65535 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
RtrDeadInterval
Sets the router OSPF dead interval, which is the number of seconds the switch's OSPF neighbors should wait before assuming that the OSPF router is down.
  • seconds is an integer value in the range 1 and 2147483647 seconds; the default is 40 seconds. The value must be at least four times the hello interval.
DsgRtrPriority
Sets the OSPF priority for the MLT during the election process for the designated router. The MLT with the highest priority number is the best candidate for the designated router. If you set the priority to 0, the MLT cannot become either the designated router or a backup designated router.
  • integer is an integer value in the range 0 and 255. The default value is 1.
Metric
Sets the OSPF metric associated with this interface and advertised in router link advertisements.
  • cost is an integer value in the range 0 and 65535; the default is 0.
AuthType
Sets the OSPF authentication type for the MLT: none, simple password, or MD5 authentication. If simple, all OSPF updates received by the interface must contain the authentication key specified by the area authentication-key command. If MD5, they must contain the md5 key.
AuthKey
Sets the authentication key for the MLT (OSPF interface).
  • string specifies the key as a simple password with eight characters.
AreaId
Sets the OSPF identification number for the area, typically formatted as an IP address.
AdvertiseWhenDown
If enabled, the network on this interface is advertised as up, even if the MLT is down. The default is disabled.
Note: When you configure an MLT without any link and enable advertise-when-down, the route is not advertised until the MLT is active. Then the route is advertised even when the link is down. To disable advertising based on link status, disable this parameter.
IfType
Specifies the type of OSPF interface.
  • if-type is the ospf interface type
    {broadcast | nbma | passive}.
PollInterval
Sets the polling interval for the OSPF interface in seconds.
  • seconds is an integer value in the range 1 and 2147483647 seconds.
