3.1. OSPF General Variables
3.1. OSPF General Variables
-- OSPF General Variables
-- These parameters apply globally to the Router's
-- OSPF Process.
ospfGeneralGroup OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ospf 1 }
ospfRouterId OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX RouterID
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A 32-bit integer uniquely identifying the
router in the Autonomous System.
By convention, to ensure uniqueness, this
should default to the value of one of the
router's IP interface addresses."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, C.1 Global parameters"
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 1 }
ospfAdminStat OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Status
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The administrative status of OSPF in the
router. The value 'enabled' denotes that the
OSPF Process is active on at least one inter-
face; 'disabled' disables it on all inter-
faces."
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 2 }
ospfVersionNumber OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER { version2 (2) }
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The current version number of the OSPF proto-
col is 2."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Title"
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 3 }
ospfAreaBdrRtrStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TruthValue
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A flag to note whether this router is an area
border router."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 3 Splitting the AS into
Areas"
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 4 }
ospfASBdrRtrStatus OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TruthValue
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A flag to note whether this router is config-
ured as an Autonomous System border router."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 3.3 Classification of
routers"
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 5 }
ospfExternLsaCount OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Gauge32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of external (LS type 5) link-state
advertisements in the link-state database."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Appendix A.4.5 AS external link
advertisements"
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 6 }
ospfExternLsaCksumSum OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The 32-bit unsigned sum of the LS checksums of
the external link-state advertisements con-
tained in the link-state database. This sum
can be used to determine if there has been a
change in a router's link state database, and
to compare the link-state database of two
routers."
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 7 }
ospfTOSSupport OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TruthValue
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The router's support for type-of-service rout-
ing."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Appendix F.1.2 Optional TOS
support"
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 8 }
ospfOriginateNewLsas OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of new link-state advertisements
that have been originated. This number is in-
cremented each time the router originates a new
LSA."
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 9 }
ospfRxNewLsas OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of link-state advertisements re-
ceived determined to be new instantiations.
This number does not include newer instantia-
tions of self-originated link-state advertise-
ments."
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 10 }
ospfExtLsdbLimit OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32 (-1..'7FFFFFFF'h)
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
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)."
DEFVAL { -1 }
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 11 }
ospfMulticastExtensions OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A Bit Mask indicating whether the router is
forwarding IP multicast (Class D) datagrams
based on the algorithms defined in the Multi-
cast Extensions to OSPF.
Bit 0, if set, indicates that the router can
forward IP multicast datagrams in the router's
directly attached areas (called intra-area mul-
ticast routing).
Bit 1, if set, indicates that the router can
forward IP multicast datagrams between OSPF
areas (called inter-area multicast routing).
Bit 2, if set, indicates that the router can
forward IP multicast datagrams between Auto-
nomous Systems (called inter-AS multicast rout-
ing).
Only certain combinations of bit settings are
allowed, namely: 0 (no multicast forwarding is
enabled), 1 (intra-area multicasting only), 3
(intra-area and inter-area multicasting), 5
(intra-area and inter-AS multicasting) and 7
(multicasting everywhere). By default, no mul-
ticast forwarding is enabled."
DEFVAL { 0 }
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 12 }
ospfExitOverflowInterval OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX PositiveInteger
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of seconds that, after entering
OverflowState, a router will attempt to leave
OverflowState. This allows the router to again
originate non-default AS-external-LSAs. When
set to 0, the router will not leave Overflow-
State until restarted."
DEFVAL { 0 }
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 13 }
ospfDemandExtensions OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TruthValue
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The router's support for demand routing."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Appendix on Demand Routing"
::= { ospfGeneralGroup 14 }
