Enterasys Networks 1H582-xx User Manual

This example shows how to distribute external type 2 RIP routing information from 
non-subnetted routes in OSPF updates:

Use this command to limit the size of OSPF link state database overflow, a condition where the 
router is unable to maintain the database in its entirety. Setting database overflow allows you to set 
a limit on the number of external LSAs. If the limit is exceeded, self-originated external LSAs will 
be removed so that OSPF can handle the large number of external LSAs coming from another 
router. When the warning level is set, a Syslog message will be issued when the number of external 
LSAs has reached the specified level. Every exit-overflow interval seconds, the database will be 
checked and, if the total is less than the limit specified, the self originated external LSAs will be 
restored.

database-overflow external {[exit-overflow-interval interval] [limit limit] 
[warning-level level]}

Matrix>Router(config)#router ospf

Matrix>Router(config-router)#redistribute rip

Specifies the LSA type as external (Type 5.)

exit-overflow-
interval interval

Specifies an interval (in seconds) the OSPF link state 
database will be checked to determine if the overflow limit 
has been reached. Valid values are 0 - 86400. Default is 0.

limit limit

Specifies the peak number of LSAs accepted before 
overflow occurs. Valid values are 0 - 4000. Default is 0.

NOTE: Limit value must be greater than the 
warning-level value and set prior to it since all 
defaults are 0.

warning-level 
level

Specifies the number of LSAs at which a warning of 
pending overflow will be generated. Valid values are 0 - 
4000. Default is 0.
