Description: The action that will be take whenn the number of external routes exceeds prvtIsisSysMaxExternalRoutes.

If set to 'log', IS-IS will alert the administrator by logging that the limit has been exceeded.

If set to 'suppressExternal', IS-IS will remove all external routes from the local LSP (at all active levels) in addition to logging the problem.

In both cases, the administrator is responsible for correcting the configuration to reduce the number of redistributed external routes.

In the 'suppressExternal' case, the system is responsible for resynchronizing the set of routes with IS-IS.

What is prvtIsisSysMaxExternalRoutesAct?

This decides what the router does once the number of redistributed external routes exceeds prvtIsisSysMaxExternalRoutes. Setting it to log just warns the administrator, while suppressExternal actively strips all external routes from the local LSP at every active level until the admin fixes the redistribution configuration.
