set-overload-bit

Description: 

Sets the overload bit, indicating to other IS-IS routers not to use this router as an intermediate hop in their SPF calculations. The no version restores the default value, clearing the overload bit.

Syntax: 

[ no ] set-overload-bit [ on-startup seconds | on-startup wait-for-bgp [ bgpSeconds ] ]

• on-startup—Sets the overload bit only after a system reload; prevents other routers from routing through this router before it is fully operational
• seconds—Period after the reload during which the overload bit is set, in the range 5–86400 seconds; the overload bit is cleared when the period expires
• wait-for-bgp—Specifies that the overload bit is not cleared until BGP has completed convergence
• bgpSeconds—Maximum period to wait for BGP to converge, in the range 5–86400 seconds with a default value of 600 seconds; the overload bit is cleared when the period expires
