Variable
Index
Metric
AdvertiseWhenDown
IfMtuIgnore
BfdEnable
122 Configuration — OSPF and RIP
Specifies the interface on which OSPF is configured.
Specifies the OSPF metric for the interface.
Enables or disables AdvertiseWhenDown. If enabled, the
network on this interface is advertised as up, even if the port
is down. The default is disabled.
When you configure a port with no link and enable advertise-
when-down, it does not advertise the route until the port is
active. Then the route is advertised even when the link is
down. To disable advertising based on link status, this
parameter must be disabled.
Specifies whether the interface ignores the MTU setting. To
allow the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 to
accept OSPF database description (DBD) packets with a
different MTU size, enable MtuIgnore. Incoming OSPF DBD
packets are dropped if their MTU is greater than 1500 bytes.
The default is disable.
Enables or disables BFD on the specified interface. The
default is disable.
