Field Description

OSPFv2 Enable Toggle ONtoenableOSPF.

Interface DisplaysthephysicalnetworkinterfaceonwhichOSPFv2isEnabled/Disabled.

Area

Enter the area to which the interface belongs. Two controllers having a common segment; their

interfaces have to belong to the same area on that segment. The interfaces should belong to the same

subnet and have similar mask.

Priority

HelpstodeterminetheOSPFv2designatedcontrollerforanetwork.Thecontrollerwiththehighest

priority will be more eligible to become Designated Controller. Setting the value to 0 makes the

controller ineligible to become Designated Controller. The default value is 1. Lower the value means

higher the priority.

Hello Interval

Thenumberof seconds forHello Interval timer value. Enter the number in secondsthat the Hello

packet will be sent. This value must be the same for all controllers attached to a common network. The

default value is 10 seconds.

Dead Interval

The number of seconds that a device’s hello packets must not have been seen before its neighbors

declare the OSPF controller down. This value must be the same for all controllers attached to a
