To resolve insufficient memory resource problems, indicated by memory
failure or software restart errors, change the OSPF memory partition, or
reconfigure the network topology to generate smaller OSPF databases.
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the IP Interior Gateway
Protocols (IGPs). The Layer 3 Module uses RIP to dynamically configure its
routing tables.
RIP operates in terms of active and passive devices. The active devices,
usually routers, broadcast their RIP messages to all devices in a network or
subnetwork; they update their own routing tables when they receive a
RIP message from another device. The passive devices, usually hosts,
listen for RIP messages and update their routing tables; they do not send
RIP messages.
Only RIP version 1.0 is supported.
Description
Number of shortest-path-first computations done
Number of nonfatal memory-allocation failures
Number of link state advertisements transmitted
Number of external LSA changes made to database
Number of OSPF router soft restarts due to insufficient memory
resources (implies that a fatal memory-allocation failure has
happened).
