ProSafe Managed Switch Format Modes nsf [ietf] helper strict-lsa-checking OSPF Router Configuration max-metric router-lsa To configure OSPF to enter stub router mode, use this command in Router OSPF Global Configuration mode. When OSPF is in stub router mode, as defined by RFC 3137, OSPF sets the metric in the non-stub links in its router LSA to LsInfinity. Other routers therefore compute very long paths through the stub router, and prefer any alternate path. Doing so eliminates all transit traffic through the stub router, when alternate routes are available. Stub router mode is useful when adding or removing a router from a network or to avoid transient routes when a router reloads. You can administratively force OSPF into stub router mode. OSPF remains in stub router mode until you take OSPF out of stub router mode. Alternatively, you can configure OSPF to start in stub router mode for a configurable period of time after the router boots up. If you set the summary LSA metric to 16,777,215, other routers skip the summary LSA when they compute routes. If you have configured the router to enter stub router mode on startup (max-metric router-lsa on-startup), and then enter max-metric router lsa, there is no change. If OSPF is administratively in stub router mode (the max-metric router-lsa command has been given), and you configure OSPF to enter stub router mode on startup (max-metric router-lsa on-startup), OSPF exits stub router mode (assuming the startup period has expired) and the configuration is updated. Default Format Mode OSPF is not in stub router mode by default max-metric router-lsa [on-startup seconds] [summary-lsa {metric}] OSPFv2 Router Configuration Parameter on-startup seconds summary-lsa metric Description (Optional) OSPF starts in stub router mode after a reboot. (Required if on-startup) The number of seconds that OSPF remains in stub router mode after a reboot. The range is 5 to 86,400 seconds. There is no default value. (Optional) Set the metric in type 3 and type 4 summary LSAs to LsInfinity (0xFFFFFF). (Optional) Metric to send in summary LSAs when in stub router mode. The range is 1 to 16,777,215. The default is 16,711,680 (0xFF0000). no max-metric router-lsa Use this command in OSPFv2 Router Configuration mode to disable stub router mode. The command clears either type of stub router mode (always or on-startup) and resets the summary-lsa option. If OSPF is configured to enter global configuration mode on startup, and during normal operation you want to immediately place OSPF in stub router mode, issue Routing Commands 326
