Inputs

    
cost:
    description:
    - The OSPF cost of the interface.
    - The cost (also called metric) of an interface in OSPF is an indication of the overhead
      required to send packets across a certain interface. The cost of an interface is
      inversely proportional to the bandwidth of that interface. A higher bandwidth indicates
      a lower cost. There is more overhead (higher cost) and time delays involved in crossing
      a 56k serial line than crossing a 10M ethernet line. The formula used to calculate
      the cost is C(cost= 10000 0000/bandwith in bps) For example, it will cost 10 EXP8/10
      EXP7 = 10 to cross a 10M Ethernet line and will cost 10 EXP8/1544000 = 64 to cross
      a T1 line.
    - By default, the cost of an interface is calculated based on the bandwidth; you can
      force the cost of an interface with the ip ospf cost value interface subconfiguration
      mode command.
    - Accepted values range between C(1) and C(450).
    - The APIC defaults to C(0) when unset during creation.

    - C(passive) -- The interface does not participate in the OSPF protocol and will not
      establish adjacencies or send routing updates. However the interface is announced
      as part of the routing network.
    type: list

password:

dead_interval:
    description:
    - The interval between hello packets from a neighbor before the router declares the
      neighbor as down.
    - This value must be the same for all networking devices on a specific network.
    - Specifying a smaller dead interval (seconds) will give faster detection of a neighbor
      being down and improve convergence, but might cause more routing instability.
    - Accepted values range between C(1) and C(65535).
    - The APIC defaults to C(40) when unset during creation.
    type: int

hello_interval:
    description:
    - The interval between hello packets that OSPF sends on the interface.
    - Note that the smaller the hello interval, the faster topological changes will be
      detected, but more routing traffic will ensue.
    - This value must be the same for all routers and access servers on a specific network.
