Figure 17.14. OSPF Global Parameters

The Enable Password field sets the password to be used for the enable command of ospfd. This is
used by the telnet interface of ospfd to control access to the configuration.

The Telnet Password field sets the password to be used for telnet access to ospfd. This is used as
the login password of ospfd when locally telnetting to port 2604 of the router.

The ABR-Type field select which method to use on area border routers to manage inter area routes.
Standard follows RFC2178, Cisco and IBM follow RFC3509. Shortcut is covered by the draft-ietf-ospf-
shortcut-abr-00.txt document. Standard requires all ABRs to have a backbone connection. The other
three methods allow for ABRs that do not have a backbone connection.

The Auto Cost Reference Bandwidth field sets the reference bandwidth used to calculate auto costs
for OSPF interfaces. The auto cost is the reference bandwidth divided by the interface bandwidth.
By default this is 100Mbit/10Mbit = auto cost of 10. The interface cost is set in the Core Interface
