Advanced Configuration and Management Guide

The <num> indicates the number of OSPF routes allowed and can be from 4000 – 32000. The change takes effect after the routing switch is rebooted.

USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE

You cannot modify the maximum number of OSPF routes using the Web management interface.

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.

On routing switches with 32MB or greater memory, you can modify the number of link-state advertisements (LSAs) that the routing switch allows before a database overflow condition is declared on the system. These parameters are part of the routing switch’s compliance with RFC 1765.

The following table lists the types of LSAs for which you can configure the table sizes, the default number of entries the tables can hold, and the range of maximum values you can specify. You cannot configure the LSA tables globally; you must configure them for individual LSA types. Make sure you save the running-config file and reload after changing a table size. The change does not take effect until you reload or reboot.
