    Profile Overrides - Interface - VLAN Interface - Dynamic Routing Screen
  2. Define or override the following parameters in the OSPF Settings field:

    Priority

    Select this option to enable or disable OSPF priority settings. Use the spinner to configure a value from 0 - 255. This option sets the priority of this interface becoming the Designated Router (DR) for the network. DRs provide routing updates to the network by maintaining a complete topology table of the network and sends the updates to the other routers in the network using multicast. Setting a high value increases the chance of this interface becoming a DR. Setting this value to zero prevents this interface from being elected a DR.

    Cost

    Select this option to enable or disable OSPF cost settings. Use the spinner to configure a cost value from 1 - 65535. Use this option to set the OSPF cost of this interface. OSPF cost is the overhead required to send a packet over this interface.

    Bandwidth

    Set the OSPF bandwidth from 1 - 10,000,000 KBps.

  3. In the OSPF Authentication field, use the Chosen Authentication Type drop-down list to select the authentication type used to validate credentials within the OSPF dynamic route.

    The available options are None, null, simple-password, and message-digest.

  4. In the MD5 Authentication table, select + Add Row and add the following MD5 authenticator credentials.

    Key ID

    Set the unique MD5 Authentication key ID. The available key ID range is 1 - 255.

    Password

    Set the OSPF password. This value is displayed as “asterisk” (*).

    Use the spinner control to set the OSPF message digest authentication key ID. The available range is from 1 - 255. The password is the OSPF key either displayed as series or asterisks or in plain text (by selecting Show).

  5. Click OK to save the VLAN interface dynamic routing configuration changes.

    Click Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
