set protocols ospf max-metric router-lsa administrative
The set protocols ospf max-metric router-lsa administrative command configures the protocol to advertise a maximum metric (65535) so that other routers do not prefer this router as an intermediate hop in their shortest path first (SPF) calculations.
Enabling this feature administratively allows for administrative intervention for whatever reason, for an indefinite period of time. The command will then take effect until manually deleted.
The delete protocols ospf max-metric router-lsa administrative command deletes the configuration.
NOTE:
max-metric router-lsa feature has three configuration methods, the commands are shown as below.
set protocols ospf [vrf <vrf-name>] max-metric router-lsa on-startup <advert-time>
set protocols ospf [vrf <vrf-name>] max-metric router-lsa on-shutdown <advert-time>
set protocols ospf [vrf <vrf-name>] max-metric router-lsa administrative
They can be configured separately or simultaneously. When administrative is configured with other methods, the configuration of “administrative” takes effect.
Command Syntax
set protocols ospf [vrf <vrf-name>] max-metric router-lsa administrative
delete protocols ospf [vrf <vrf-name>] max-metric router-lsa administrative
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
vrf <vrf-name> | Optional. Specifies a VRF name. The value is a string. It’s a user-defined VRF set by the command set ip vrf <vrf-name> [description <string>]. |
Usage Guidelines
The highlighted lines in the following example shows that set protocols ospf [vrf <vrf-name>] max-metric router-lsa administrative is configured for advertising the maximum metric.
