An OSPF Router Process defines a group of routers exchanging routing information via the Open Shortest Path First routing
protocol.
Description
An OSPF area is a sub-domain within the OSPF process which collects OSPF interfaces, neighbors, aggregates and virtual
links.
Properties
- Name
- Specifies a symbolic name for the area. (Identifier)
- AreaID
- Specifies the area id, if 0.0.0.0 is specified this is the backbone area.
- Stub
- Enable to make the router automatically advertises a default route so that routers in the stub area can reach destinations
outside the area. (Default: No)
- StubSummarize
- Become a default router for stub area (Summarize). (Default: Yes)
- StubMetric
- Route metric for stub area. (Optional)
- FilterExternal
- Specifies the network addresses allowed to be imported into this area from external routing sources. (Optional)
- FilterInterArea
- Specifies the network addresses allowed to be imported from other routers inside the area. (Optional)
- Comments
- Text describing the current object. (Optional)
Description
Select and define the properties of an interface that should be made a member of the Router Process.
Properties
- Interface
- Specifies which interface in the firewall will be used for this OSPF interface. (Identifier)
- Type
- Auto, Broadcast, Point-to-point or Point-to-multipoint. (Default: Auto)
- Network
- Specifies the network related to the configured OSPF interface.
- MetricType
- Metric value or Bandwidth. (Default: MetricValue)
- Metric
- Specifies the routing metric for this OSPF interface. (Default: 10)
- BandwidthValue
- Specifies the bandwidth for this OSPF interface.
- BandwidthUnit
- Specifies the bandwidth unit. (Default: Mbps)
- UseDefaultAuth
- Use the authentication configuration specified in the OSPF process. (Default: Yes)
- AuthType
- Specifies the authentication type for the OSPF protocol exchanges. (Default: None)
- AuthPassphrase
- Specifies the passphrase used for authentication. (Optional)
- AuthMD5ID
- Specifies the MD5 key ID used for MD5 digest authentication.
- AuthMD5Key
- A 128-bit key used to produce the MD5 digest. (Optional)
- HelloInterval
- Specifies the number of seconds between HELLO packets sent from the interface. (Default: 10)
- RtrDeadInterval
- If no HELLO packets are received from a neighbor within this interval (in seconds), that neighbor router will be declared
to be down. (Default: 40)
- RxmtInterval
- Specifies the number of seconds between retransmissions of LSAs to neighbors on this interface. (Default: 5)
- RtrPrio
- Specifies the router priority, a higher number increases this routers chance of becoming DR or BDR, if 0 is specified this
router will not be eligible in the DR/BDR election. (Default: 1)
- InfTransDelay
- Specifies the estimated transmit delay for the interface in seconds. This value represents the maximum time it takes to forward
a LSA packet trough the router. (Default: 1)
- WaitInterval
- Specifies the number of seconds between the time when the interface is brought up and the election of the DR and BDR. This
value should be higher than the hello interval. (Default: 40)
- Passive
- Enable to make it possible to include networks into the OSPF routing process, without running OSPF on the interface connected
to that network. (Default: No)
- IgnoreMTU
- Enable to allow OSPF MTU mismatches. (Default: No)
- Comments
- Text describing the current object. (Optional)
Description
For point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks, specify the IP addresses of directly connected routers.
Properties
- Interface
- Specifies the OSPF interface of the neighbor.
- IPAddress
- IP Address of the neighbor.
- Metric
- Specifies the metric of the neighbor. (Optional)
- Comments
- Text describing the current object. (Optional)

Description
An aggregate is used to replace any number of smaller networks belonging to the local (intra) area with one contiguous
network which may then be advertised or hidden.
Properties
- Network
- The aggregate network used to combine several small routes.
- Advertise
- Advertise the aggregate. (Default: Yes)
- Comments
- Text describing the current object. (Optional)

Description
An area that does not have a direct connection to the backbone must have at least one area border router with a virtual
link to a backbone router, or to another router with a link to the backbone.
Properties
- Name
- Specifies a symbolic name for the virtual link. (Identifier)
- RouterID
- The ID of the router on the other side of the virtual link.
- UseDefaultAuth
- Use the authentication configuration specified in the OSPF process. (Default: Yes)
- AuthType
- Specifies the authentication type for the OSPF protocol exchanges. (Default: None)
- AuthPassphrase
- Specifies the passphrase used for authentication. (Optional)
- AuthMD5ID
- Specifies the MD5 key ID used for MD5 digest authentication.
- AuthMD5Key
- A 128-bit key used to produce the MD5 digest. (Optional)
- Comments
- Text describing the current object. (Optional)
3.65.2. RouteExportRuleOSPF
Description
An OSPF export rule creates a filter to select OSPF learned routes. The filtered routes can then through action rules
either be exported to "route distribution services", such as OSPF, or be added to one or more routing tables.
Properties
