DXS-3350SR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
Configure each IP interface individually using the OSPF Interface Settings – Edit menu. Click the Apply button when you
have entered the settings. The new configuration appears listed in the OSPF Interface Settings table. To return to the OSPF
Interface Settings table, click the
Show All OSPF Interface Entries
link.
Some OSPF interface settings require previously configured OSPF settings. Read the descriptions below for OSPF interface
setting details.
Parameter
Description
Interface Name
Displays the interface name of an IP interface previously configured on the Switch.
IP Address
The IP address of the Interface Name, and its current status (Link Up or Link Down).
Network Medium
Type
A read only field describing the type of network medium used. This field will only read
BROADCAST due to OSPF configurations permanently set in the Switch.
Area ID
Allows the entry of an OSPF Area ID configured above.
Router Priority
Allows the entry of a number between 0 and 255 representing the OSPF priority of the
selected area. If a Router Priority of 0 is selected, the Switch cannot be elected as the
Designated Router for the network.
Hello Interval
Allows the specification of the interval between the transmission of OSPF Hello packets,
in seconds. Between 5 and 65535 seconds can be specified. The Hello Interval, Dead
Interval, Authorization Type, and Authorization Key should be the same for all routers on
the same network.
Dead Interval
Allows the specification of the length of time between the receipt of Hello packets from a
neighbor router before the selected area declares that router down. An interval between
5 and 65535 seconds can be specified. The Dead Interval must be evenly divisible by
the Hello Interval.
State
Allows the OSPF interface to be disabled for the selected area without changing the
configuration for that area.
Auth Type
This field can be toggled between None, Simple, and MD5 using the space bar. This
allows a choice of authorization schemes for OSPF packets that may be exchanged
over the OSPF routing domain. None specifies no authorization. Simple uses a simple
password to determine if the packets are from an authorized OSPF router. When
Simple is selected, the Auth Key:[ ] field allows the entry of a 5 character password that
must be the same as a password configured on a neighbor OSPF router. MD5 uses a
cryptographic key entered in the MD5 Key Table Configuration menu. When MD5 is
selected, the Auth Key ID:[ ] field allows the specification of the Key ID as defined in
the MD5 configuration above. This must be the same MD5 Key as used by the
neighboring router.
Auth. Key ID
Enter a Key ID of up to 5 characters to set the Auth. Key ID for either the Simple Auth
Type or the MD5 Auth Type, as specified in the previous parameter.
Metric
This field allows the entry of a number between 1 and 65,535 that is representative of
the OSPF cost of reaching the selected OSPF interface. The default metric is 1.
DR State
A read only field describing the Designated Router state of the IP interface. This field
many read DR if the interface is the designated router, or BDR if the interface is the
Backup Designated Router. The highest IP address will be the Designated Router and is
determined by the OSPF Hello Protocol of the Switch.
DR Address
The IP address of the aforementioned Designated Router.
BDR Address
The IP address of the aforementioned Backup Designated Router.
Transmit Delay
A read only field that denotes the estimated time to transmit a Link State Update Packet
over this interface, in seconds.
Retransmit Time
A read only field that denotes the time between LSA retransmissions over this interface,
in seconds.
