Hello Interval Hello packets are packets that an OSPF process sends to its

OSPF neighbors to maintain connectivity with those neighbors.

The hello packets are sent at a configurable interval (in

seconds). The value of all hello intervals must be the same

within a network.

Dead Interval The dead interval is also a configurable interval (in seconds),

and defaults to four times the value of the hello interval.

Auth Type OSPF authentication allows the flexibility to authenticate OSPF

neighbors. Users can enable authentication to exchange

routing update information in a secure manner. OSPF

authentication can either be none, simple, or MD5. However,

authentication is not necessary to be set. If it is set, all L3

switches / routers on the same segment must have the same

password and authentication method.

None
