Managing OSPF

The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol determines the best path for routing IP traffic over a TCP/IP
network based on link cost and quality. Unlike static routing, OSPF takes link failures and other network topology
changes into account. OSPF also differs from RIP in that it provides less router to router update traffic.
The RUGGEDCOM ROX II OSPF daemon (ospfd) is an
implementation of OSPF version 2. The daemon also adheres to the Opaque LSA
html/rfc2370]) and ABR-Types
OSPF network design usually involves partitioning a network into a number of self-contained areas. The areas
are chosen to minimize intra-area router traffic, making more manageable and reducing the number of advertised
routes. Area numbers are assigned to each area. All routers in the area are known as Area routers. If traffic must
flow between two areas a router with links in each area is selected to be an Area Border router, and serves as a
gateway.
NOTE
The router-id parameter defines the ID of the router. By default this is the highest IP assigned to
the router. It is recommended to configure this value manually to avoid the ID changing if interfaces
are added or deleted from the router. During elections for the master router, the ID is one of the values
356
(RFC 3509 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3509]) extensions.
Description
Synopsis: { md5-rfc, md5-old-ripd, text, none }
The authentication mode.
The authentication key chain.
Synopsis: A string 1 to 16 characters long
The authentication string.
Description
Synopsis: typeless
The specified interface is set to passive mode. In passive mode,
all received packets are processed normally and RIPd sends
neither multicast nor unicast RIP packets except to RIP neighbors
specified with a neighbor element.
Synopsis: { 1, 2, 1,2, 2,1 }
The version of RIP packets that will be accepted on this interface.
By default, version 1 and version 2 packets will be accepted.
Synopsis: { 1, 2, 1,2, 2,1 }
The version of RIP to send packets with. By default, version 2
packets will be sent.
Synopsis: { yes, no, poisoned-reverse }
Default: yes
A split horizon.
