Ospf Limitations; Ospf Commands - Avaya G250 Administration

Configuring the router
Use the bandwidth command from the Interface context to manually adjust the interface's
bandwidth If Cost is being determined dynamically, this configured bandwidth and not the actual
interface bandwidth, is used to calculate Cost.

OSPF limitations

You can configure the G250/G350 as an OSPF Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR)
using route redistribution. The G250/G350 can be installed in the OSPF backbone area (area
0.0.0.0) or in any OSPF area that is part of a multiple areas network. However, the G250/G350
cannot be configured to be an OSPF area border router itself.
The G250/G350 supports the ECMP equal-cost multipath (ECMP) feature which allows load
balancing by splitting traffic between several equivalent paths.
While you can activate OSPF with default values for each interface using a single command,
you can configure many of the OSPF parameters.

OSPF commands

Use the following commands to configure OSPF. For more information about these commands,
see Avaya G250 and Avaya G350 CLI Reference, 03-300437.
Use the area command to configure the OSPF area ID of the router. Use the no form of
●
the command to delete the OSPF area id.
Use the default-metric command to set the interface OSPF route metric value. Use
●
the no form of this command to restore the default value.
Use the ip ospf authentication-key command to configure the interface
●
authentication password. Use the no form of this command to remove the OSPF
password.
Use the ip ospf cost command to configure the interface metric. Use the no form of
●
this command to set the cost to its default value.
Use the ip ospf dead-interval command to configure the interval before declaring
●
the neighbor as dead. Use the no form of this command to set the dead-interval to its
default value.
Use the ip ospf hello-interval command to specify the time interval between hello
●
packets sent by the router. Use the no form of this command to set the hello-interval to its
default value.
Use the ip ospf network point-to-multipoint command to specify the network
●
type for the interface. Use the no form of the command to return the interface to the default
value.
Use the ip ospf priority command to configure interface priority used in DR election.
●
Use the no form of this command to set the OSPF priority to its default value.
