Adding The Interface Mtu Into Dd Packets; Configuring The Maximum Number Of External Lsas In Lsdb; Enabling Compatibility With Rfc 1583 - HP 3600 v2 series Configuration Manual

To do...
Configure the authentication mode
Return to OSPF view
Return to system view
Enter interface view
Configure the authentication mode
(simple authentication) for the
interface
Configure the authentication mode
(MD5 authentication) for the
interface

Adding the interface MTU into DD packets

By default, an interface adds 0 into the interface MTU field of a DD packet to be sent rather than the
interface MTU. You can enable an interface to add its MTU into DD packets.
Follow these steps to add the interface MTU into DD packets:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Enable the interface to add its MTU
into DD packets

Configuring the maximum number of external LSAs in LSDB

Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of external LSAs in the Link State Database:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter OSPF view
Specify the maximum number of
external LSAs in the LSDB

Enabling compatibility with RFC 1583

The selection of an external route from multiple LSAs as defined in RFC 2328 is different from the one
defined in RFC 1583. If RFC 1583 is made compatible with RFC 2328, the routes in the backbone area
are preferred; if not, the routes in the non-backbone area are preferred to reduce the burden of the
backbone area.
