DXS-3326GSR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
the VLAN entered above. Secondary interfaces can only be configured if a primary
interface is first configured.
State <Disabled> This field may be altered between Enabled and Disabled using the pull-down menu.
This entry determines whether the interface will be active or not.
Link Status <Link
UP>
This read-only field states the current status of the IP Interface on the Switch. Link Up
denotes that the IP interface is up and running on the Switch. Link Down will denote
that the IP interface is not currently set and/or enabled on the Switch.

MD5 Key Table Configuration
The MD5 Key Setting window allows the entry of a 16-character Message Digest − version 5 (MD5) key that can be used
to authenticate every packet exchanged between OSPF routers. It is used as a security mechanism to limit the exchange of
network topology information to the OSPF routing domain.
MD5 Keys created here can be used in the OSPF Interface Configuration window below.
To configure an MD5 Key, click the MD5 Key Table Configuration link to open the following window:
Figure 7- 5. MD5 Key Setting window
The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
Key ID (1-255)
A number from 1 to 255 used to identify the MD5 Key.
Key
A alphanumeric string of between 1 and 16 case-sensitive characters used to generate
the Message Digest which is in turn, used to authenticate OSPF packets within the
OSPF routing domain.
Click Apply to enter the new Key ID settings. To delete a Key ID entry, click the corresponding under the Delete
heading.
Route Redistribution Settings
Route redistribution allows routers on the network, which are running different routing protocols to exchange routing
information. This is accomplished by comparing the routes stored in the various routers routing tables and assigning
appropriate metrics. This information is then exchanged among the various routers according to the individual routers
current routing protocol. The Switch can redistribute routing information between the OSPF and RIP routing protocols to
all routers on the network that are running OSPF or RIP. Routing information entered into the Static Routing Table on the
local DXS-3326GSR switch is also redistributed.
