Interior Gateway Routing Protocols

config ospf vlan <vlan> timer <rxmtinterval>
<transitdelay> <hellointerval>
<routerdeadinterval> [<waitinterval>]

Configures the OSPF wait interval. Specify the
following:

rxmtinterval

—The length of time that

the router waits before retransmitting an
LSA that is not acknowledged. If you set an
interval that is too short, unnecessary
retransmissions will result. The default value
is 5 seconds.

transitdelay

—The length of time it takes

to transmit an LSA packet over the
interface. The transit delay must be greater
than 0.

hellointerval

—The interval at which

routers send hello packets. Smaller times
allow routers to discover each other more
quickly, but also increase network traffic.
The default value is 10 seconds.

routerdeadinterval

—The interval after

which a neighboring router is declared down
due to the fact that hello packets are no
longer received from the neighbor. This
interval should be a multiple of the hello
interval. The default value is 40 seconds.

waitinterval

—The interval between the

interface coming up and the election of the
DR and BDR. This interval is required by
the OSPF standard to be equal to the

routerdeadinterval

. Under some

circumstances, setting the

waitinterval

to smaller values can help OSPF routers on
a broadcast network to synchronize more
quickly at the expense of possibly electing
an incorrect DR or BDR. This value should
not be set to less than the

hellointerval

. The default value is

equal to the

routerdeadinterval

.

create ospf area <areaid>

Creates an OSPF area. Area 0 does not need
to be created. It exists by default.

disable ospf capability opaque-lsa

Disables OSPF opaque LSA support.

enable ospf

Enables OSPF process for the router.

enable ospf capability opaque-lsa

Enables OSPF opaque LSA support.

enable ospf export direct [cost <metric>
[ase-type-1 | ase-type-2] {tag <number>}]

Enables the distribution of local interface
(direct) routes into the OSPF domain. Once
enabled, the OSPF router is considered to be
an ASBR. The default tag number is 0. The
default setting is disabled. Interface routes
which correspond to the interface that has
OSPF enabled are ignored.

enable ospf export rip [cost <metric>
[ase-type-1 | ase-type-2] {tag <number>}]

Enables the distribution of RIP routes into the
OSPF domain. Once enabled, the OSPF router
is considered to be an ASBR. The default tag
number is 0. The default setting is disabled.
