3Com CoreBuilder 2500 - Setting Dead Intervals; Setting Passwords

13-14 CHAPTER 13: ADMINISTERING OSPF ROUTING
Setting
Dead Intervals
The value of the dead interval determines how long neighbor routers wait
for a hello packet before they determine that the transmitting router is
inactive. Each time a router receives a hello packet from a neighbor, the
router resets the dead interval timer for that neighbor. See “Setting
Hello Timers” on page 13-13 for more information.
CAUTION: Set the dead interval to the same value for all routers on the
network segment.
Default The default value for the dead interval is 40 seconds.
To set the value of the dead interval:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip ospf interface dead
2 Enter an IP interface.
3 Enter the value of the dead interval, in seconds.
Allowable values:
1 through 65535.
Setting Passwords Use this command to set a security password for a specific OSPF
interface.
CAUTION: Use the same password for all routers on the network
segment because they are in the same area.
Default The default is no password.
To enter an IP interface password:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
ip ospf interface password
2 Enter an IP interface.
3 Enter the password.
You can use up to eight ASCII characters.
Example:
Select interface(s) (1-2|all): 2
Enter interface password [none]: xyzzy
Use the password none to remove a previously assigned password.
