wfOspfRfc1583Compatibility
Module: Wellfleet-OSPF-MIB
OID (symbolic): Wellfleet-OSPF-MIB::wfOspfRfc1583Compatibility
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.1.29
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: Controls the preference rules used when choosing among multiple AS-external-LSAs advertising the same destination. When set to 'enabled', the preference rules remain those specified by RFC 1583. When set to 'disabled', the preference rules are those stated in RFC 2178, which prevent routing loops when AS- external-LSAs for the same destination have been originated from different areas.
What is wfOspfRfc1583Compatibility?
Chooses which RFC's route-preference rules OSPF uses when multiple AS-external LSAs advertise the same destination from different areas: enabled(1) uses the older RFC 1583 rules, disabled(2) uses RFC 2178's rules, which specifically prevent routing loops in that scenario. Admins normally leave this disabled unless legacy routers on the same OSPF domain still require RFC 1583 compatibility.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.1.29 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Wellfleet-OSPF-MIB::wfOspfRfc1583Compatibility
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.1.29.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Wellfleet-OSPF-MIB::wfOspfRfc1583Compatibility.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.1.29.1 i <value>
