Variable definitions

The following table describes the fields of the Interfaces tab.

Field Description
IpAddress Specifies the IP address of the OSPF interface.
AreaId Specifies the unique ID of the area to which the interface connects. Area ID 0.0.0.0 indicates the OSPF backbone.
AdminStat Specifies the administrative status of the OSPF interface.
State Specifies the DR state of the OSPF interface: up–DR, BDR, OtherDR; down–down, waiting.
RtrPriority In multi-access networks, specifies the priority of the interface in the designated router election algorithm. The interface with the highest priority number is the designated router. The interface with the second-highest priority becomes the backup designated router. The value 0 signifies that the router is not eligible to become the designated router on this network. This is an integer value between 0 and 255. In the event of a tie in the priority value, routers use their Router ID as a tie breaker. The default value is 1.
DesignatedRouter Specifies the IP address of the Designated Router.
BackupDesignatedRouter Specifies the IP address of the Backup Designated Router.
Type Specifies the OSPF interface type. The options available are: broadcast or passive.
AuthType Specifies the interface authentication type. The options available are: none, simplePassword, or md5.
AuthKey Specifies the interface authentication key. This key is used when AuthType is simplePassword.
PrimaryMd5Key Specifies the MD5 primary key if it exists. Otherwise this field displays 0. This key is used when AuthType is md5.
TransitDelay Specifies the estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link state update packet over this interface. This is an integer value between 0 and 3600.
RetransInterval Specifies the number of seconds between link state advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to this interface. This value is also used when retransmitting database description and link state request packets. This is an integer value between 0 and 3600.
HelloInterval Specifies the interval in seconds between the Hello packets sent by the router on this interface. This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network. This is an integer value between 1 and 65535.
RtrDeadInterval Specifies the number of seconds that a neighbor waits for a Hello packet from this interface before the router neighbors declare it down. This value must be some multiple of the Hello interval and must be the same for all routers attached to the common network. This is an integer value between 0 and 2147483647.
PollInterval Specifies the poll interval.
AdvertiseWhenDown Specifies whether this interface sends advertisements even when it is non-operational.
MtuIgnore Specifies whether the MTU value is ignored on this interface.
Events Specifies the number of times this OSPF interface has changed its state or an error has occurred.
