Configuring OSPF

Syntax: [no] log all | adjacency | bad_packet [checksum] | database | memory | retransmit

The all option causes all OSPF-related Syslog messages to be logged. If you later disable this
option with the no log all command, the OSPF logging options return to their default settings.

The adjacency option logs essential OSPF neighbor state changes, especially on error cases. This
option is disabled by default.

The bad_packet checksum option logs all OSPF packets that have checksum errors. This option is
enabled by default.

The bad_packet option logs all other bad OSPF packets. This option is disabled by default.

The database option logs OSPF LSA-related information. This option is disabled by default.

The memory option logs abnormal OSPF memory usage. This option is enabled by default.

The retransmit option logs OSPF retransmission activities. This option is disabled by default.

Modifying the OSPF standard compliance setting

Brocade routers are configured, by default, to be compliant with the RFC 1583 OSPF V2
specification.

To configure a router to operate with the latest OSPF standard, RFC 2178, enter the following
commands.

Brocade(config)#router ospf

Brocade(config-ospf-router)#no rfc1583-compatibility

Syntax: [no] rfc1583-compatibility

Modifying the exit overflow interval

If a database overflow condition occurs on a router, the router eliminates the condition by removing
entries that originated on the router. The exit overflow interval allows you to set how often a Layer
3 Switch checks to see if the overflow condition has been eliminated. The default value is 0. The
range is 0 through 86400 seconds (24 hours). If the configured value of the database overflow
interval is zero, then the router never leaves the database overflow condition.

NOTE

FastIron devices dynamically allocate OSPF memory as needed. Refer to

“Dynamic OSPF memory”

on page 176.

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

Brocade(config-ospf-router)#database-overflow-interval 60

Syntax: database-overflow-interval value

The value can be from 0 through 86400 seconds. The default is 0 seconds.
