default-metric

Specify the default metric that OSPF

<metric_integer>

should use for redistributed routes. The

 

 

 

valid range for metric_integer is 1 to

distance

Configure the administrative distance for

<distance_integer>

all OSPF routes. Using administrative

 

 

distance you can specify the relative

 

 

 

priorities of different routes to the same

 

 

 

destination. A lower administrative

 

 

 

distance indicates a more preferred route.

 

 

 

The valid range for distance_integer

 

 

 

is 1 to 255.

OSPF routing information is not sent or

rfc1583-compatible

Enable or disable RFC 1583 compatibility.

All models.

{disable enable}

RFC 1583 compatibility should be enabled

 

 

only when there is another OSPF router in

 

 

 

the network that only supports RFC 1583.

 

 

 

When RFC 1583 compatibility is enabled,

 

 

 

routers choose the path with the lowest

 

 

 

cost. Otherwise, routers choose the lowest

 

 

 

cost intra-area path through a non-

 

 

 

backbone area.

format, that is used to identify an OSPF

 

 

 

router to other OSPF routers. The router

 

 

 

ID should not be changed while OSPF is

 

 

 

running.

 

 

 

A router ID of 0.0.0.0 is not allowed.

 

 

spf-timers

All models.

<delay_integer>

(SPF) calculation delay time and

 

 

<hold_integer>

frequency.

 

 

The delay_integer is the time, in

 

 

 

seconds, between when OSPF receives

 

 

 

information that will require an SPF

 

 

 

calculation and when it starts an SPF

 

 

 

calculation. The valid range for

 

 

 

delay_integer is 0 to 4294967295.

 

 

 

The hold_integer is the minimum time,

 

 

 

in seconds, between consecutive SPF

 

 

 

calculations. The valid range for

 

 

 

hold_integer is 0 to 4294967295.

 

 

 

OSPF updates routes more quickly if the

 

 

 

SPF timers are set low; however, this uses

 

 

 

more CPU. A setting of 0 for spf-timers

 

 

 

can quickly use up all available CPU.
