Configuring OSPF Global Settings

Syntax:

set ospf

      default-ase-cost <1-677215>

      default-ase-type {1 | 2}

      graceful-restart-helper {off | on}

      rfc1583-compatibility {off | on}

      spf-delay {<1-60> | default}

      spf-holdtime {<1-60> | default}

Parameters:

Parameter

Description

default-ase-cost <1-6777215>

Specifies the cost assigned to routes from other protocols that are redistributed into OSPF as autonomous systems external. If the route has a cost already specified, that cost takes precedent.

1

default-ase-type {1 | 2}

Specifies the type assigned to routes from other protocols that are redistributed into OSPF as autonomous systems external. If the route has a type already specified, that type takes precedent.

1

graceful-restart-helper {off | on}

Specifies whether the Check Point system should maintain the forwarding state advertised by peer routers even when they restart to minimize the negative effects caused by peer routers restarting.

rfc1583-compatibility {off | on}

The Check Point implementation of OSPF is based on RFC 2178, which fixed some looping problems in an earlier specification of OSPF.

If your implementation runs in an environment with OSPF implementations based on RFC 1583 or earlier, enable this option, which is on by default.

Setting compatibility with RFC 1583 ensures backward compatibility.

spf-delay {<1-60> | default}

Specifies the time, in seconds, to wait before recalculating the OSPF routing table after a change in the topology.

Range: 1-60 seconds

Default: 2 seconds

spf-holdtime {<1-60> | default}

Specifies the minimum time, in seconds, between recalculations of the OSPF routing table.

Range: 1-60 seconds

Default: 5 seconds
