rlOspfRFC1583Compatibility

Module: RADLAN-OSPF-MIB

OID (symbolic): RADLAN-OSPF-MIB::rlOspfRFC1583Compatibility

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.210.2.1.16

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: Indicates metrics used to choose among multiple AS-external LSAs. When RFC1583Compatibility is set to enabled, only cost will be used when choosing among multiple AS-external LSAs advertising the same destination. When RFC1583Compatibility is set to disabled, preference will be driven first by type of path using cost only to break ties.

This object is persistent and when written the entity SHOULD save the change to non-volatile storage.

What is rlOspfRFC1583Compatibility?

This read-write TruthValue selects which tie-breaking rule the router uses among multiple external routes to the same destination: enabled uses the older RFC 1583 cost-only comparison, disabled prefers external type-1 routes over type-2 first. An admin must set this identically on every router in the OSPF domain, since a mismatch can cause routing loops.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.210.2.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RADLAN-OSPF-MIB::rlOspfRFC1583Compatibility

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.210.2.1.16.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RADLAN-OSPF-MIB::rlOspfRFC1583Compatibility.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.89.210.2.1.16.1 s <value>
