IP routing configuration using the Java Device Manager 231

Field

Description

 

 

Rfc1583Compatibility

Controls the preference rules used when

 

choosing among multiple Autonomous

 

System external link state advertisements

 

advertising the same destination. When

 

this is enabled, the preference rule will

 

be the same as specified by RFC 1583.

 

When disabled, the new preference rule, as

 

described in RFC 2328, will be applicable.

 

This potentially prevents the routing loops

 

when Autonomous System external link state

 

advertisements for the same destination have

 

been originated from different areas.

 

 

LastSpfRun

Used to indicate the time the last SPF

 

calculation was done.
