max-metric router-lsa

max-metric router-lsa

Configures a device that is running the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol to advertise its
locally generated router LSAs with a maximum metric. The no form of this command removes the
configuration.

Syntax

max-metric router-lsa [include-stub] [summary-lsa [max-metric-value]]

[external-lsa [max-metric-value]] [on-startup {seconds | wait-for-bgp}]

no max-metric router-lsa [include-stub] [summary-lsa [max-metric-value]]

[external-lsa [max-metric-value]] [on-startup {seconds | wait-for-bgp}]

Command

Default

Parameters

router-lsa

Configures the device to advertise the maximum metric for point-to-point and
transit links. The maximum metric value is 65535

include-stub

(Optional) Specifies the advertisment of the maximum metric (65535) for
point-to-point and broadcast stub links in the intra-area-prefix LSA. You
cannot specify a maximum metric value with the include-stub parameter. If
you specify include-stub, point-to-point and broadcast stub links in the
intra-area-prefix LSA are advertised at a value of 65535.

summary-lsa [max-metric-value]

(Optional) Specifies the metric for advertising inter-area-prefix type-3 and
type-4 LSAs. The range is from 1 through 16777215. The default value is
16711680. Setting the max-metric-value for summary-lsa to 16777215
makes the route unreachable.

external-lsa [max-metric-value]

(Optional) Specifies the metric for advertising external type-5 and type-7
LSAs. The range is from 1 through 16777215. The default value is
16711680. Setting the max-metric-value for external-lsa to 16777215 makes
the route unreachable.

on-startup

(Optional) Specifies the period to advertise the maximum metric on startup. If
the on-startup option is not specified, a device configured with max-metric
router-lsa always advertises the max-metric.

seconds

Specifies the period in seconds. The range is from 5 through 86400.

wait-for-bgp

Specifies that the maximum metric is advertised until BGP converges or for
600 seconds.

Command

Modes

Router OSPF subconfiguration mode.

Usage

Guidelines

Configuration is done in an incremental fashion.

The on-startup configuration does not apply to restarts.

Examples

The following example configures OSPFv3 to advertise router LSAs with the cost of point-to-point
and transit links set to 65535.

Brocade(config-ospf6-router)# max-metric router-lsa
