prvtOspfExtLsdbLimit

Module: PRVT-OSPF-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-OSPF-MIB::prvtOspfExtLsdbLimit

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The maximum number of non-default AS- external-LSAs entries that can be stored in the link-state database. If the value is -1, then there is no limit. When the number of non-default AS-external-LSAs in a router's link-state database reaches ospfExtLsdbLimit, the router enters Overflow- State. The router never holds more than ospfExtLsdbLimit non-default AS-external-LSAs in its database. OspfExtLsdbLimit MUST be set identically in all routers attached to the OSPF backbone and/or any regular OSPF area. (i.e., OSPF stub areas and NSSAs are excluded).

What is prvtOspfExtLsdbLimit?

This sets the maximum number of non-default AS-external LSAs the router will hold in its link-state database before entering OverflowState, with -1 meaning no limit. This value must be configured identically on every router attached to the backbone or a given regular area, since it governs the OSPF database-overflow protection mechanism.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-OSPF-MIB::prvtOspfExtLsdbLimit

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-OSPF-MIB::prvtOspfExtLsdbLimit.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.9.1 i <value>
