OSPF Configuration View


Use the OSPF Configuration View to set the forwarding router, and to define the interface that connects to the OSPF area backbone.

To present the OSPF Configuration View, click the OSPF link in the Routing Configuration section of the Config Tool main menu. The following two figures show an example of the OSPF Configuration View.

The following section describes the fields in the OSPF Configuration View.

Hello Interval
Controls the speed at which OSPF adjacencies are formed. For a given link, this field must be the same on all routers. The default value is 10 seconds.
Dead Interval
Controls the speed at which OSPF adjacencies are formed. For a given link, this field must be the same on all routers. Typically the value of this field should be four times the size of the Hello Interval field. The default value is 40 seconds.
OSPF Cost
Specifies the weight of a given path in a route. The higher the cost, the less preferred the link. Thus, if you want to use one interface over another for routing paths, give one a higher cost. The default value is 1.
Areas
Specifies whether Backbone is enabled or disabled and type of authentication used (simple or none).
Add New OSPF Area
Specifies the IP address of a new hostname.
