Default Passive Setting- Configure the global passive mode setting for all OSPF interfaces.
Configuring this field overwrites any present interface level passive mode setting. OSPF does not
form adjacencies on passive interfaces, but does advertise attached networks as stub networks.
Default is Disable.
Default Information Originate - Enable or Disable Default Route Advertise.
Always - Sets the router advertise 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 when set to "True".
Metric - Specifies the metric of the default route. The valid values are (0 to 16777215)
Metric Type - Sets the metric type of the default route.
Helper Support Mode- Configures how unit will act when a neighbor performs a warm restart. The
possible values are:
Planned - Indicates that OSPF should only help a restarting neighbor during planned events.
Always - Indicates that OSPF help a restarting neighbor during all planned and unplanned warm
restart events.
Disabled - Disables OSPF from acting as a helpful neighbor.
Helper Strict LSA Checking - When enabled, the unit will exit helper mode whenever the topology
changes.
Non-Configurable Data
ASBR Status - The router is an Autonomous System Boundary Router if it is configured to
redistribute routes from another protocol, or if it is configured to originate an external LSA advertising
the default route.
External LSA Count - The number of external (LS type 5) LSAs (link state advertisements) in the
link state database.
External LSA Checksum - The sum of the LS checksums of the external LSAs (link state
advertisements) contained in the link-state database. This sum can be used to determine if there has
been a change in a router's link state database, and to compare the link-state databases of two
routers.
AS_OPAQUE LSA Count - The number of opaque LSAs with domain wide flooding scope.
AS_OPAQUE LSA Checksum - The sum of the LS checksums of the opaque LSAs with domain
wide flooding scope. This sum can be used to determine if there has been a change in a router's link
state database, and to compare the link-state databases of two routers. This value is in hexadecimal.
New LSAs Originated - In any given OSPF area, a router will originate several LSAs. Each router
originates a router-LSA. If the router is also the Designated Router for any of the area's networks, it
will originate network-LSAs for those networks. This value represents the number of LSAs originated
by this router.
LSAs Received - The number of LSAs (link state advertisements) received that were determined to
be new instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of self-originated LSAs.
Command Buttons
Submit - Send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take effect
immediately. These changes will not be retained across a power cycle unless a save is performed.
