Setting the LSDB overload bit
By setting the overload bit in sent LSPs, a router informs other routers of failures that make it unable to select routes and forward packets.
When an IS-IS router cannot record the complete LSDB, for example, because of memory insufficiency, it will calculate wrong routes. To make troubleshooting easier, temporarily isolate the router from the IS-IS network by setting the overload bit.
To set the LSDB overload bit:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter IS-IS view. | isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] | N/A |
3. Set the overload bit. | set-overload [ on-startup [ [ start-from-nbr system-id [ timeout1 [ nbr-timeout ] ] ] | timeout2 | wait-for-bgp [ timeout3 ] ] ] [ allow { external | interlevel } * ] | By default, the overload bit is not set. |
