OSPF MaxAge [7:3745]

2001-05-08 Thread Semion Lisyansky
Hi List, I have a question abiut OSPF MaxAge parameter. AFAIK from two sources - Doyle book and the RFC, MaxAge should be one hour and it's an OSPF protocol constant, which means that it can not be configured. When I typed "show ip ospf" on 250x running 11.3 I got: ... Link State Update

Semion, There's nothing wrong here. MaxAge is non-configurable, and it is one hour, just as you read in the RFC. The Link State Age Interval you see in the "show ip ospf" output is simply the interval at which the router will check for MaxAge LSAs in the link-state database and delete them.
