# Configuring Additional Parameters

The commands presented in this section include both OSPF-specific commands and routing protocol–independent commands that are not limited to OSPF. You can use these commands to perform the tasks listed in Table 11.

Table 11: Additional Configuration Tasks

Filter and apply policy to routes. | Set the maximum paths.
Set a baseline for statistics. | Enable automatic cost calculation.
Clear statistics for access lists, counters, redistributed routes, or processes. | Enable logs for OSPF neighbor changes.
Set the redistribution routes. | Set SPF hold time.
Set the distance for OSPF routes. | Set a default metric.
Administratively disable OSPF. |

access-list

route-map

- Use the access-list command to create a standard or extended access list.
- Use the route-map command to create a route map.
- For detailed information about configuring access lists and route maps, see JUNOSe IP Services Configuration Guide.
- Example
  1. Configure three static routes.
     `
     host1(config)#ip route 20.20.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0
     host1(config)#ip route 20.20.21.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0
     host1(config)#ip route 20.21.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0
     `
  2. Configure an access list with filters on routes 20.20.20.0/24 and 20.20.21.0/24.
     `
     host1(config)#access-list boston permit 20.20.0.0 0.0.255.255
     `
  3. Configure a route map that matches the previous access list and applies a metric type 1 (OSPF).
     `
     host1(config)#route-map boston
     host1(config-route-map)#match ip address boston
     host1(config-route-map)#set metric-type type-1
     `
  4. Configure redistribution of the static routes into OSPF with route map boston.
     `
     host1(config)#router ospf 2
     host1(config-router)#redistribute static route-map boston
     `
  5. Use the show ip ospf database command to verify the effect of the redistribution (that the two static routes matching the route map are redistributed as external type 1).

         host1#show ip ospf database
             OSPF Database
               Router Link States (Area 0.0.0.0)

         20.20.21.0      192.168.1.250   3           0x80000001  0x554f

- Use the no version of the access-list command to remove the access list or the specified entry in the access list.
- Use the no version of the route-map command to remove an entry.
- See access-list
- See route-map

auto-cost reference-bandwidth

ospf auto-cost reference-bandwidth

- Use to calculate the OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 interface cost according to bandwidth.
- Sets the OSPF metric for an interface according to the bandwidth specified.
- Affects OSPF metrics for existing OSPFv2 interfaces and OSPFv2 interfaces created after the execution of this command.
- Affects OSPF metrics for only OSPFv3 interfaces created after the execution of this command.
- This command’s value overrides the cost resulting from the command.
- If you want this command to apply to OSPF interfaces already configured, you need to bounce the existing interfaces: Use the no network and then the network command for the selected OSPF interfaces.
- Example 1—OSPFv2
  `
  host1(config-router)#ospf auto-cost reference-bandwidth 1000
  `
- Example 2—OSPFv3
  `
  host1((config-router)#)#auto-cost reference-bandwidth 1000
  `
- When you issue this command, the metric is calculated as follows:

  OSPF metric = bandwidth*1,000,000/link speed

  For the previous example, a 64K link yields a metric of 15625, whereas a T1 link yields a metric of 647. The minimum value for the metric is 1.

- If you never issue the ospf auto-cost reference-bandwidth command, OSPF calculates the cost as 108/link speed.
- Use the no version to assign cost based only on the interface type.
- See auto-cost reference-bandwidth
- See ospf auto-cost reference-bandwidth

baseline ip ospf

baseline ipv6 ospf

- Use to set a baseline for OSPF statistics and counters.
- The following example first displays the output of the show ip ospf command, which is shown before you run the baseline ip ospf command; then it displays the execution of the baseline ip ospf command; and finally, it displays the show ip ospf command run after you execute the baseline ip ospf command.
  - The output of the show ip ospf command run before the baseline ip ospf command reflects the up-to-date packet counters.
  - The output of the show ip ospf delta command run after you run the baseline ip ospf command reflects the baseline set for OSPF statistics and counters.
- Example

      host1#show ip ospf

- There is no no version.
- See baseline ip ospf
- See baseline ipv6 ospf

clear ipv6 ospf counters

- Use to clear all OSPF IPv6 statistical counters for the virtual router.
- Example
  `
  host1#clear ipv6 ospf counters
  `
- There is no no version.
- See clear ipv6 ospf counters

clear ipv6 ospf process

- Use to clear the OSPF IPv6 process on the virtual router.
- Example
  `
  host1#clear ipv6 ospf process
  `
- There is no no version.
- See clear ipv6 ospf process

clear ip ospf database

- Use to delete all entries from the OSPF link-state database and to reset all adjacencies.
- Example
  `
  host1#clear ip ospf database
  `
- There is no no version.

clear ip ospf neighbor

- Use to clear an IP OSPF neighbor by specifying the IP address.

| Note: When OSPF is configured and running over an NBMA network, do not issue the clear ip ospf neighbor command simultaneously on both ends of the OSPF link. Doing so brings the OSPF link down completely. In this event, you must do one of the following on both sides of the link to bring the link back up: Reconfigure the OSPF neighbors on the NBMA interface with the neighbor command. Issue the clear ip ospf database command to clear and reset the OSPF adjacencies. Issue the shutdown command followed by the no shutdown command on the interface.

- Example
  `
  host1#clear ip ospf neighbor neighborAddress
  `
- There is no no version.
- See clear ip ospf neighbor

clear ip ospf redistribution

clear ipv6 ospf redistribution

- Use to clear and readvertise all of the routes that have been previously redistributed into OSPF.

  | Caution: Using this command purges all external LSAs and reoriginates.

- Example 1
  `
  host1#clear ip ospf redistribution
  `
- Example 2
  `
  host1#clear ipv6 ospf redistribution
  `
- There is no no version.
- See clear ip ospf redistribution
- See clear ipv6 ospf redistribution

default-information originate

- Use to generate a default route into an OSPF routing domain.
- When you use this command to redistribute routes into an OSPF routing domain, the router automatically becomes an AS boundary router.
- An AS boundary router, however, does not, by default, generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain. The software must have a default route before it generates one, except when you have specified the always keyword.
- You can specify a metric for the route or specify that the route be OSPF external type 1 or 2.
- Example
  `
  host1(config)#router ospf 1
  host1(config-router)#default-information originate route-map 5
  `
- Use the no version to disable this feature.
- See default-information originate

disable-dynamic-redistribute

- Use to halt the dynamic redistribution of routes that are initiated by changes to a route map.
- Dynamic redistribution is enabled by default.
- Example
  `
  host1(config-router)#disable-dynamic-redistribute
  `
- Use the no version to reenable dynamic redistribution.
- See disable-dynamic-redistribute

distance

- Use to configure the administrative distance for OSPF routes.
- Example
  `
  host1(config-router)#distance ospf external 60
  `
- Default settings:
  - Intra-area routes—110
  - Interarea routes—112
  - External routes—114
- Use the no version to restore the default values.
- See distance

ip ospf shutdown

ipv6 ospf shutdown

- Use to disable OSPF on the interface.
- Example 1
  `
  host1(config-if)#ip ospf shutdown
  `
- Example 2
  `
  host1(config-if)#ipv6 ospf shutdown
  `
- Use the no version to enable OSPF on the interface.
- See ip ospf shutdown
- See ipv6 ospf shutdown

log-adjacency-changes

ospf log-adjacency-changes

- Use to configure the router to send a log message when the state of an OSPF neighbor changes.
- Use the log-adjacency-changes command for OSPFv3 interfaces; use the ospf log-adjacency-changes command for OSPFv2 interfaces.
- Example 1
  `
  host1(config-router)#log-adjacency-changes severity 3 verbosity low
  `
- Example 2
  `
  host1(config-router)#ospf log-adjacency-changes severity 3 verbosity low
  `
- Use the no version to halt logging of neighbor changes.
- See log-adjacency-changes
- See ospf log-adjacency-changes

maximum-paths

- Use to control the maximum number of parallel routes that OSPF can support.
- The maximum number of routes can be in the range 1–16.
- The default for OSPF is 4 paths.
- To enable equal-cost multipath (ECMP) for OSPF, you need to specify a value for maximum paths greater than 1.
- Example
  `
  host1(config-router)#maximum-paths 2
  `
- Use the no version to restore the default value, 4.
- See maximum-paths

ospf shutdown

- Use to administratively disable OSPF on the router.
- Example
  `
  host1(config-router)#ospf shutdown
  `
- Use the no version to reenable OSPF on the interface.
- See ospf shutdown

passive-interface

- Use to disable the transmission of routing updates on the interface, meaning that OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 routing information is neither sent by nor received through the interface.
- The specified interface appears as a stub network in the OSPF domain.
- By default, OSPF is enabled on a configured OSPF interface.
- Example
  `
  host1(config-router)#passive-interface ethernet 1/0
  `
- Use the no version to reenable the transmission of OSPF routing updates on the specified interface.
- See passive-interface

redistribute

- Use to redistribute information from a routing domain other than OSPF into the OSPF domain.
- You can set the OSPF metric type—type 1 or type 2—and set a metric for all redistributed routes.
- If you do not specify route-map, all routes are redistributed. By default, all routes are imported as external type 2 routes.
- If you specify route-map but do not list any route map tags, no routes are imported.
- Use to redistribute routes from OSPF into other non-OSPF routing domains.
- Example 1
  `
  host1(config)#router ospf 5
  host1(config-router)#redistribute bgp route-map 4
  `
- Example 2
  `
  host1(config)#router bgp 100
  host1(config-router)#redistribute ospf 5
  `
- Use the no version to disable redistribution.
- See redistribute.

table-map

- Use to apply a policy to modify distance, metric, metric type, route type, or tag values of OSPF routes about to be added to the IP routing table.
- The new route map is applied to all routes currently in and those subsequently placed in the forwarding table. Previously redistributed routes are redistributed with the changes caused by the route map.
- To remove from the forwarding table any old routes that are now disallowed by the specified route map, you must refresh the IP routing table with the clear ip routes * command.
- Example
  `
  host1(config)#route-map dist1 permit 5
  host1(config-route-map)#match community boston42
  host1(config-route-map)#set distance 33
  host1(config-route-map)#exit
  host1(config)#router ospf 100
  host1(config-router)#table-map dist1
  host1(config-router)#exit
  host1(config)#exit
  host1#clear ip routes *
  `
- Use the no version to halt application of the route map.
- See table-map

timers spf

- Use to configure the time between two consecutive SPF calculations.
- Set the time (in seconds) in the range 1–5; the default value is 3 seconds.
- If you set the hold time to 0, there is no delay between two consecutive SPF calculations. They can be done one immediately after the other.
- Example
  `
  host1(config-router)#timers spf 2
  `
- Use the no version to return to the default value, 3 seconds.
- See timers spf

## Default Metrics

Although the router does not support a default-metric command, the redistribute command provides two ways to set a default metric for redistributed routes.

You can simply configure a metric with the redistribute command to apply to all routes redistributed from the specified source protocol:

`

host1(config)#router ospf 5
host1(config-router)#redistribute bgp metric 5

`

Alternatively, you can create one or more route maps that set the metric and apply them selectively to redistributed routes:

`

host1(config)#access-list 1 permit any any
host1(config)#route-map defmetric
host1(config-route-map)#match ip address 1
host1(config-route-map)#set metric 10
host1(config-route-map)#exit
host1(config)#router ospf 5
host1(config-router)#redistribute bgp route-map defmetric
host1(config-router)#redistribute isis route-map defmetric

`

See JUNOSe IP Services Configuration Guide, for information about configuring route maps.
