Configuring OSPF

5.Select Disable next to RFC 1583.

6.Click the Apply button to save the change to the device’s running-config file.

7.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

Modify Exit Overflow Interval

If a database overflow condition occurs on a routing switch, the routing switch eliminates the condition by removing entries that originated on the routing switch. The exit overflow interval allows you to set how often a routing switch checks to see if the overflow condition has been eliminated. The default value is 0. The range is 0

–86400 seconds (24 hours). If the configured value of the database overflow interval is zero, then the routing switch never leaves the database overflow condition.

NOTE: The software dynamically allocates OSPF memory as needed. See “Dynamic OSPF Memory” on page 8-6.

USING THE CLI

To modify the exit overflow interval to 60 seconds, enter the following command:

HP9300(config-ospf-router)# data-base-overflow-interval 60

Syntax: database-overflow-interval <value>

The <value> can be from 0 – 86400 seconds. The default is 0 seconds.

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

To modify the exit overflow interval:

1.Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration panel is displayed.

2.Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.

3.Click on the plus sign next to OSPF in the tree view to expand the list of OSPF option links.

4.Click on the General link to display the OSPF configuration panel.

5.Enter a value from 0 – 86400 in the Exit Overflow Interval field.

6.Click the Apply button to save the change to the device’s running-config file.

7.Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.

Modify the Maximum Number of Routes

NOTE: This section applies only to devices that are running software earlier than release 07.1.10. See “Dynamic OSPF Memory” on page 8-6.

The OSPF route table holds 16000 routes by default. You can change the maximum number of routes the routing switch’s OSPF table can hold to a value from 4000 – 32000.

USING THE CLI

To change the maximum number of OSPF routes to 32000, enter the following command:

HP9300(config-ospf-router)# max-routes 32000

HP9300(config-ospf-router)# exit

HP9300# reload

Syntax: max-routes <num>
