Configuring Prefix Suppression - HP 6125XLG Layer 3 - Ip Routing Configuration Manual

Step
3. Enable OSPF ISPF.

Configuring prefix suppression

An OSPF interface by default advertises all its prefixes in LSAs. You can suppress interfaces from
advertising all its prefixes to speed up OSPF convergence. This function also helps improve the network
security by preventing IP routing toward the suppressed networks.
When prefix suppression is enabled:
On P2P and P2MP networks, OSPF does not advertise Type-3 links in Router LSAs. Other routing
•
information can still be advertised to ensure traffic forwarding.
On broadcast and NBMA networks, the DR generates Network LSAs with a mask length of 32 to
•
suppress network routes. Other routing information can still be advertised to ensure traffic
forwarding. If no neighbors exist, the DR does not advertise the primary IP addresses of interfaces
in Router LSAs.
IMPORTANT:
If you want to use prefix suppression, HP recommends that you configure prefix suppression on all OSPF
routers.
Configuring prefix suppression for an OSPF process
Enabling prefix suppression for an OSPF process does not suppress the prefixes of secondary IP
addresses, loopback interfaces, and passive interfaces. To suppress the prefixes of loopback interfaces
and passive interfaces, enable prefix suppression on the interfaces.
To configure prefix suppression for an OSPF process:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter OSPF view.
3. Enable prefix
suppression for the
OSPF process.
Configuring prefix suppression on an interface
Interface prefix suppression does not suppress prefixes of secondary IP addresses.
To configure interface prefix suppression:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
