Interface tab

The IP Routing - Interface tab shows information about the OSPF interface configured on the router.

To open the Interface tab:

Choose IP Routing > OSPF > Interface.

The OSPF - Interface tab fields are described in the following table.


Field Description
IpAddress
The Internet Protocol address of the device used to represent a point of attachment in a TCP/IP internetwork.
AddressLessIf
Used for the purpose of easing the instancing of addressed and addressless interfaces. This variable takes the value 0 on interfaces with IP addresses and the corresponding value of ifIndex for interfaces having no IP address.
AreaId
A 32-bit integer uniquely identifying an area. Area ID 0.0.0.0 is used for the OSPF backbone.
AdminStat
The administrative status of OSPF in the router. The value "enabled" denotes that the OSPF process is active on the interface; "disabled" disables it on all interfaces.
RtrPriority
The priority of this interface. Used in multiaccess 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.
TransitDelay
The estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link-state update packet over this interface.
RetransInterval
The number of seconds between link-state advertisement retransmissions. This value is also used for retransmission of database descriptions and link-state request packets.
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 its neighbors declare the router down. This value should be a multiple of the hello interval and the same for the virtual neighbor.
PollInterval
The larger time interval, in seconds, between the Hello packets sent to an inactive nonbroadcast multiaccess neighbor.
State
The OSPF interface state.
DesignatedRouter
The IP address of the designated router.
