<p>Password option can contain section with some (not necessary all) password sub-options:
<descrip>
- <tag><label id="proto-pass-id">id <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="proto-pass-id">id <M>number</M></tag>
ID of the password, (0-255). If it is not specified, BIRD will choose ID
based on an order of the password item in the interface, starting from
1. For example, second password item in one interface will have default
Whether the address is IPv4 or not may be checked by <cf>.is_v4</cf>
which returns a <cf/bool/. IP addresses are written in the standard
notation (<cf/10.20.30.40/ or <cf/fec0:3:4::1/). You can apply special

<tag><label id="type-prefix">prefix</tag>
clearing the R-bit in the router LSA. See <rfc id="6987"> for details.
Default value is no.
- <tag><label id="ospf-tick">tick <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-tick">tick <M>number</M></tag>
The routing table calculation and clean-up of areas' databases is not
performed when a single link state change arrives. To lower the CPU
utilization, it's processed later at periodical intervals of <m/number/
propagated to the NSSA. In that case, this option allows to originate
default route as NSSA-LSA to the NSSA. Default value is no.
- <tag><label id="ospf-default-cost">default cost <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-default-cost">default cost <M>number</M></tag>
This option controls the cost of a default route propagated to stub and
NSSA areas. Default value is 1000.
- <tag><label id="ospf-default-cost2">default cost2 <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-default-cost2">default cost2 <M>number</M></tag>
When a default route is originated as NSSA-LSA, its cost can use either
type 1 or type 2 metric. This option allows to specify the cost of a
default route in type 2 metric. By default, type 1 metric (option
unconditionally translate all NSSA-LSAs regardless of translator
election. Default value is no.
- <tag><label id="ospf-translator-stability">translator stability <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-translator-stability">translator stability <M>number</M></tag>
This option controls the translator stability interval (in seconds).
When the new translator is elected, the old one keeps translating until
the interval is over. Default value is 40.
<cf/interface/ option, you could also use several virtual links to one
destination with different instance IDs.
- <tag><label id="ospf-cost">cost <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-cost">cost <M>number</M></tag>
Specifies output cost (metric) of an interface. Default value is 10.
<tag><label id="ospf-stub-iface">stub <M>switch</M></tag>
If set to interface it does not listen to any packet and does not send
any hello. Default value is no.
- <tag><label id="ospf-hello">hello <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-hello">hello <M>number</M></tag>
Specifies interval in seconds between sending of Hello messages. Beware,
all routers on the same network need to have the same hello interval.
Default value is 10.
- <tag><label id="ospf-poll">poll <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-poll">poll <M>number</M></tag>
Specifies interval in seconds between sending of Hello messages for some
neighbors on NBMA network. Default value is 20.
- <tag><label id="ospf-retransmit">retransmit <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-retransmit">retransmit <M>number</M></tag>
Specifies interval in seconds between retransmissions of unacknowledged
updates. Default value is 5.
- <tag><label id="ospf-transmit-delay">transmit delay <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-transmit-delay">transmit delay <M>number</M></tag>
Specifies estimated transmission delay of link state updates send over
the interface. The value is added to LSA age of LSAs propagated through
it. Default value is 1.
- <tag><label id="ospf-priority">priority <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-priority">priority <M>number</M></tag>
On every multiple access network (e.g., the Ethernet) Designated Router
and Backup Designated router are elected. These routers have some special
functions in the flooding process. Higher priority increases preferences
in this election. Routers with priority 0 are not eligible. Default
value is 1.
- <tag><label id="ospf-wait">wait <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-wait">wait <M>number</M></tag>
After start, router waits for the specified number of seconds between
starting election and building adjacency. Default value is 4*<m/hello/.
- <tag><label id="ospf-dead-count">dead count <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-dead-count">dead count <M>number</M></tag>
When the router does not receive any messages from a neighbor in
<m/dead count/*<m/hello/ seconds, it will consider the neighbor down.
- <tag><label id="ospf-dead">dead <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-dead">dead <M>number</M></tag>
When the router does not receive any messages from a neighbor in
<m/dead/ seconds, it will consider the neighbor down. If both directives
<cf/dead count/ and <cf/dead/ are used, <cf/dead/ has precedence.
- <tag><label id="ospf-rx-buffer">rx buffer <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-rx-buffer">rx buffer <M>number</M></tag>
This option allows to specify the size of buffers used for packet
processing. The buffer size should be bigger than maximal size of any
packets. By default, buffers are dynamically resized as needed, but a
fixed value could be specified. Value <cf/large/ means maximal allowed
packet size - 65535.
- <tag><label id="ospf-tx-length">tx length <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-tx-length">tx length <M>number</M></tag>
Transmitted OSPF messages that contain large amount of information are
segmented to separate OSPF packets to avoid IP fragmentation. This
option specifies the soft ceiling for the length of generated OSPF
outgoing OSPF packets. See <ref id="proto-tx-class" name="tx class"> common
option for detailed description.
- <tag><label id="ospf-ecmp-weight">ecmp weight <M>num</M></tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-ecmp-weight">ecmp weight <M>number</M></tag>
When ECMP (multipath) routes are allowed, this value specifies a
relative weight used for nexthops going through the iface. Allowed
values are 1-256. Default value is 1.
