• Change the priority of the interface, which is used to determine the Designated Router for the OSPF broadcast network.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ip ospf priority number
• number: the range is from 0 to 255 (the default is 1).
• Change the retransmission interval between LSAs.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ip ospf retransmit-interval seconds
• seconds: the range is from 1 to 65535 (the default is 5 seconds).
The retransmit interval must be the same on all routers in the OSPF network.
• Change the wait period between link state update packets sent out the interface.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ip ospf transmit-delay seconds
• seconds: the range is from 1 to 65535 (the default is 1 second).
The transmit delay must be the same on all routers in the OSPF network.
Example of Changing and Verifying the cost Parameter and Viewing Interface Status
To view interface congurations, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION INTERFACE mode.
To view interface status in the OSPF process, use the show ip ospf interface command in EXEC mode.
The bold lines in the example show the change on the interface. The change is reected in the OSPF conguration.

Enabling OSPFv2 Authentication
To enable or change various OSPF authentication parameters, use the following commands.
• Set a clear text authentication scheme on the interface.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ip ospf authentication-key key
Congure a key that is a text string no longer than eight characters.
