Network Type Specifies the OSPF network type of the autonomous system.
Possible values:
broadcast
Use this value for broadcast networks, such as Ethernet and IEEE
802.5. OSPF performs a DR and BDR election with which the non-
designated routers form an adjacency.
nbma
Use this value for non-broadcast multi-access networks such as X.25
and similar technologies. OSPF performs a DR and BDR election to
limit the number of adjacencies formed.
pointToPoint
Use this value for networks that link only 2 interfaces.
pointToMultipoint
Use this value when you collect several point-to-point links into a non-
broadcast network. Every router in the network transmits hello packets
to other routers in the network, but without having a DR and BDR
election.
Auth Type Specifies the authentication type for an interface.
When you specify
simple
or
md5
, then this router requires other routers to
pass an authentication process before this router accepts it as a neighbor.
When you use authentication to help protect your network, use the same
type and key for every router in your autonomous system.
Possible values:
none
(default setting)
Network authentication is inactive.
simple
The router uses clear text authentication. In this case, routers transmit
the passwords as clear text.
md5
The router uses the message-digest algorithm MD5 authentication. This
is the more secure type of authentication.
Auth Key Specifies the authentication key.
If you specify a shorter key, then the device left fills the remaining octets with
zeros. When you click "Set", the device saves the value in the running
configuration and hides the entry.
When you set the "Auth Type" parameter to
simple
the device uses only 8
characters and when set to
md5
the device uses 16 characters.
Possible values:
alphanumeric ASCII character string with 1..16 characters
