configuration for each interface. The cost for each interface can also be set in the OSPF Interface
configuration to override the auto cost calculation.
The Default Metric field sets the default metric to be used for OSPF routes which don't have another
metric specified.
The Default-Information Originate field, when enabled, causes the router to advertise its default
route to the OSPF network.
The Distance field sets the administrative distance to use for all routes unless overridden by other
distance settings.
The Distance External field sets the administrative distance to use for all external routes (backbone
routes). The Distance Inter-area field sets the administrative distance to use for all routes between
areas. The Distance Intra-area field sets the administrative distance to use for all routes within an
area.
The Hostname field sets the hostname for the ospf daemon. This value is only used as a a reference
for convenience. The telnet interface prompt will contain this hostname. The router's system wide
hostname is used if this field is left blank.
The Opaque LSA field controls the opaque LSA option. This feature is covered in RFC2370. This
feature is sometimes used to distribute application specific information through a network using OSPF
LSAs.
The Passive Default option controls the default active/passive state of new interfaces. When enabled
all new interfaces will be passive by default. The passive state of individual interfaces is controlled
from the OSPF Interfaces configuration.
The Refresh Timer field controls how frequently OSPF LSA refreshes occur.
The RFC 1583 Compatibility field controls support for RFC1583 compatibility. If this option is enabled
OSPF will be compatible with the obsolete RFC1583 version of OSPF. By default it is compatible with
RFC2178 version of OSPF only.
The Redistribute Connected fields control distribution of connected routes. When enabled, OSPF
will advertise routes to directly connected interfaces to other OSPF routers in the area. Normally only
routes that fall within the scope of the network areas will be advertised.
The Redistribute Static fields control the distribution of static routes created using the Network
Configuration / Routing and Default Route menu. When this parameter is enabled, OSPF will advertise
these static routes to other OSPF routers in the area. Normally only routes that fall within the scope
of the network areas will be advertised.
The Redistribute Kernel fields control distribution of kernel routes. When enabled, OSPF will
advertise routes from the kernel routing table, which includes static routes entered by the
administrator, to other OSPF routers in the area. Normally only routes that fall within the scope of the
network areas will be advertised.
The Redistribute RIP fields control distribution of routes learned by RIP. When enabled, OSPF will
advertise routes learned by RIP.
