13.3.14.5 OSPF Interface
OSPF
An OSPF interface is the connection between a router and one of its attached networks. An interface has state information
associated with it, which is obtained from the underlying lower level protocols and the routing protocol itself. A network
interface has associated a single IP address and mask (unless the network is an unnumbered point-to-point network). An
interface is sometimes also referred to as a link.
To view OSPF interface statistics:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select System from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen), expand the default node and select an access
point for statistical observation.
3. Select OSPF.
4. Select the OSPF Interface tab.
Figure 13-56 Access Point - OSPF Interface tab
The OSPF Interface tab describes the following:
Interface Name Displays the IP addresses and mask defined as the virtual interface for dynamic OSPF routes. Zero
config and DHCP can be used to generate route addresses, or a primary and secondary address can
be manually provided.
Interface Index Lists the numerical index used for the OSPF interface. This interface ID is in the hello packets
establishing the OSPF network connection.
Bandwidth Lists the OSPF interface bandwidth (in Kbps) in the range of 1 - 10,000,000.
Interface Flag Displays the flag used to determine the interface status.
MTU Lists the OSPF interface maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. The MTU is the largest physical
packet size (in bytes) a network can transmit. Any packets larger than the MTU are divided into
smaller packets before being sent.
