Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.
Support for Multitopology Routing introduced in JUNOS Release 9.0.
Support for the realm statement introduced in JUNOS Release 9.2.
Configure the local router so that it appears to be overloaded. You might do this when you want the router to participate in OSPF routing, but do not want it to be used for transit traffic. Note that traffic destined to immediately attached interfaces continues to reach the router.
timeout seconds—(Optional) Number of seconds at which the overloading is reset. If no timeout interval is specified, the router will remain in overload state until the overload statement is deleted or a timeout is set.

Note: Multitopology Routing does not support the timeout option. |
