Parameter
Specifies
RunOSPF
Enable/disable OSPF on the interface. When OSPF is active, the MAX
unit sends update packets out on the interface. These packets set the
correct link state for the interface and make sure that the local
link-state database is an exact copy of the database maintained by
other OSPF routers.
unit sends update packets out on the interface. These packets set the
correct link state for the interface and make sure that the local
link-state database is an exact copy of the database maintained by
other OSPF routers.
Area
OSPF area to which this interface belongs.
AreaType
Type of OSPF area to which this interface belongs. If a network is
large, the size of the database, time required for route computation,
and related network traffic become excessive. An administrator can
partition an Autonomous System (AS) into areas to provide
hierarchical routing connected by a backbone.

HelloInterval
Number of seconds between sending OSPF Hello packets on the
interface. OSPF routers use Hello packets to recognize when a router
is down.

DeadInterval
Number of seconds the unit waits before declaring its neighboring
routers down after it stops receiving Hello packets.
routers down after it stops receiving Hello packets.
Priority
Priority of this router with respect to the designated router and backup
designated router elections. When two routers attached to a network
attempt to become the designated router, the one with the highest
Priority value takes precedence. A router whose Priority is set to 0
(zero) is ineligible to become the designated router on the attached
network.

AuthType
Type of authentication in use for validating OSPF packet exchanges:
Simple (the default) or None. Simple authentication is designed to
prevent configuration errors from affecting the OSPF routing database.
It is not designed for firewall protection.

authentication server.
KeyID
An authentication key (a password) used to allow OSPF routing.
KeyID is a number from 0 to 255 inserted into the OSPF packet
header. OSPF routers use KeyId to allow or exclude packets from an
area. The default value is 0.
