Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

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.

Options

• 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
