8.14 OSPF Interfaces
This dialog allows you to specify, activate, and display OSPF parameters on
the router interfaces.
The device allows you to activate up to 64 OSPF routing interfaces.
The device uses the OSPF routing protocol to exchange reachability
information between the routers. The device uses routing information learned
from peers to determine the next hop towards the destination. To route traffic
correctly, the router authenticates OSPF protocol exchanges to prevent
malicious or incorrect routing information from getting introduced into the
routing table.
OSPF supports multiple types of authentication. You configure the type of
authentication in use on a per interface basis. The cryptographic
authentication option, md5, helps protect your network against passive
attacks and helps provide significant protection against active attacks. When
using the cryptographic authentication option, each router appends a
"message digest" to its transmitted OSPF packets. Receivers then use the
shared secret key and received digest to verify that each received OSPF
packet is authentic.
 Table
Parameters Meaning
Port Displays the interface to which the table entry applies.
IP Address Displays the IP address of this OSPF interface.
Possible values:
 Valid IPv4 address
Active Activates/deactivates the OSPF administrative status of the interface.
Possible values:
 marked
The router advertises the values specified on the interface, and the
interface as an OSPF internal route.
 unmarked (default setting)
This value indicates that the interface is external to OSPF.
