The Transmit Delay field controls the estimated number of seconds to transmit a link
state update packet. This should take into account transmission and propagation
delays of the interface.
The Passive Interface option controls if an interface is active or passive. Passive
interfaces do not send LSAs to other routers and are not part of an OSPF area.
The Authentication field controls the type of authentication to use when
communicating with other routers. It can be none, null (just check for message
corruption) or message digest, which cryptographically signs each message with a
shared key.
The Message Digest Keys fields allows for addition and deletion of keys to use for
areas connected to this interface when authentication is set to message-digest.
