MAX Administration Guide
Administering TCP/IP
Managing the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol
set (P stands for propagate). When the P-bit is enabled, ABRs translate Type-7 LSAs to Type-5
LSAs, which can then be flooded to the backbone. These external routes are considered Type-7
LSAs.
The Show OSPF Translator command lists the Area ID that has to be a NSSA and the Router
ID of the NSSA area border router performing the ASE7 to ASE5 translation:
admin > show ospf translators
Area ID Router ID
0.0.0.110.105.0.13
0.0.0.212.1.1.1
The output includes the following fields:
Verifying OSPF-related parameter settings
Verify the following OSPF-related parameter settings to assure proper OSPF performance on
the MAX.
Area ID
Area number in dotted-decimal format.
Router ID
IP address assigned to the MAX, typically, the address specified for
the Ethernet interface.
Parameter
Description
MAX # ASE LSA
Specifies the number of Link-State Advertisements (LSAs) the MAX unit
stores before going into a state of database overload. When the unit
reaches a database overload, it does not accept new entries and discards
self-originated entries.
OSPF
Enables OSPF traps. With the
Yes
setting, the MAX unit generates traps
that have been enabled in Ethernet > SNMP Traps > any profile > Enable
traps. When you set OSPF to
No
, the MAX unit does not generate any
OSPF traps regardless of any individual OSPF trap settings in Enable
Traps.
OSPF If AuthFailure
Sends the OSPF If AuthFailure trap when the MAX unit receives a packet
on a non-virtual interface from a router whose authentication key or
authentication type conflicts with this router’s authentication key or
authentication type.
OSPF If ConfigError
Sends the OSPF If ConfigError trap when a nonvirtual interface receives a
packet from a router whose configuration parameters conflicts with this
router’s configuration parameters.
OSPF If RxBadPacket
Sends the OSPF If RxBadPacket trap when the MAX unit receives an
OSPF packet on a non-virtual interface that cannot be parsed.
OSPF If StateChange
Sends the OSPF If StateChange trap when there has been a change in the
state of a nonvirtual OSPF interface.
OSPF LsdbApprchngOvrflw
Sends the OSPF LsdbApprchngOvrflw trap when the number of LSAs in
the router’s link-state database has exceeded ninety percent of
ospfEx-
tLsdbLimit
.
