Command Usage
• When RFC 1583 compatibility is enabled, only cost is used when choo sing
among multiple AS-external LSAs advertising the same destination. When
disabled, preference is based on type of path, using cost o nly to break ties
(see RFC 2328).
• All routers in an OSPF routing domain should use the same RFC fo r
calculating summary routes.
• If there are any OSPF routers in an area exchan ging summ ary informat ion
(specifically, ABRs) which have not been upgraded to OSPFv2, this command
should be used on the newly upgraded OS PFv2 routers to ensure
compatibility with routers still running older OSPFv2 code. Once all systems
have been upgraded to newer OSPFv 2 code, us e the no form of this
command to restore compatibility for all systems with RFC 2328.
