Operation Manual – Routing ProtocolH3C S7500 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 4 OSPF Configuration4-22To do... Use the command... RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enter OSPF view ospf [ process-id[ router-id router-id ] ] —Disable OSPF packettransmission on aspecified interfacesilent-interfacesilent-interface-typesilent-interface-numberRequiredBy default, all theinterfaces are allowed totransmit OSPF packets.Note:z On the same interface, you can disable multiple OSPF processes fromtransmitting OSPF packets. The silent-interface command, however, only appliesto the OSPF interface where the specified process has been enabled, withoutaffecting the interface for any other process.z After an OSPF interface is set to be in silent status, the interface can still advertiseits direct route. However, the Hello packets from the interface will be blocked, andno neighboring relationship can be established on the interface. This enhancesOSPF networking adaptability, thus reducing the consumption of systemresources.4.7.6 Configuring OSPF AuthenticationFollow these steps to configure OSPF authentication:To do... Use the command... RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enter OSPF view ospf [ process-id[ router-id router-id ] ] —Enter OSPF area view area area-id —Configure theauthentication mode ofthe OSPF areaauthentication-mode{ simple | md5 }RequiredBy default, noauthentication mode isconfigured for an area.Return to OSPF view quit —Return to system view quit —Enter interface view interface interface-typeinterface-number —
