17. Configuring Dynamic Routing
Revision 1.14.3 177 RX1000/RX1100™
The Retransmit Interval field controls the delay between retransmissions.
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 set to "default", which uses the routing package's default value, "null" (just check
for message corruption), or "message digest", which cryptographically signs each message with a
shared key.
The Message Digest Keys table allow the addition and deletion of keys to use for areas connected
to this interface when authentication is set to "message-digest".
17.2.4.3. OSPF Network Areas
Figure 17.16. Network Areas
OSPF uses areas to control which routes are distributed between routers. To add a network to an
area, enter the area ID and the network address and netmask and click Add. To delete an entry click
the Delete button beside the entry. All networks routes that are part of the same area will be distributed
to other routers in the same area.
17.2.4.4. OSPF Status
This status menu shows various pieces of information about the current OSPF status. The status of
each interface is shown, the current database, the current OSPF neighbors and the current OSPF
routing table.
17.2.4.5. View OSPF Configuration
This menu shows the current configuration file of OSPF.
