5.3.26 OSPF Password
SE/PVC Configuration Parameters
OSPF Database Description and Link State Request packets.
Set this parameter to a value that is higher than the expected round-trip delay between any
two routers on the network attached to this port/PVC. Otherwise, needless retransmissions
will occur. The default value, 5 seconds, is appropriate for a LAN connection. Low-speed
connections require a higher value.
Values: 1 - 360
Default: 5
Console SNMP Text-based Config
OSPF Hello interval atmpvcOspfHelloInt [atmpvc#] OspfHelloInt
The length of time, in seconds, between the Hello Packets that the NetPerformer sends on
this PVC. The value of the Hello Interval parameter is advertised in Hello Packets sent out
from this PVC, and must be the same on all other routers having a connection with the
network attached to this PVC.
If you set the Hello Interval to a short length of time, changes to the OSPF topological
database will be detected more quickly. However, a short Hello Interval creates more
OSPF routing protocol traffic. The default value, 10 seconds, is appropriate for a LAN
connection, whereas a PVC may require a Hello Interval of 30 seconds.
Values: 1 - 360
Default: 10
Console SNMP Text-based Config
OSPF Dead interval atmpvcOspfDeadInt [atmpvc#] OspfDeadInt
The length of time, in seconds, before neighboring routers declare a router down when
they stop hearing its Hello Packets. The value of the Dead Interval parameter is advertised
in Hello Packets sent out from this PVC, and must be the same on all other routers having
a connection with the network attached to this PVC.
Set the Dead Interval to a multiple of the Hello Interval (described above).
Values: 1 - 2000
Default: 40
