ospf packet-size

Use ospf packet-size to set the maximum length of OSPF packets that can be sent by an interface.

Use undo ospf packet-size to restore the default.

Syntax

ospf packet-size value

undo ospf packet-size

Default

The maximum length of OSPF packets that an interface can send equals the interface's MTU.

Views

Interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

value: Specifies the maximum length of OSPF packets that can be sent by an interface, in the range of 500 to 10000 bytes.

Usage guidelines

The interface chooses the smaller one between the value set in this command and the interface MTU, and uses it as the maximum length of OSPF packets that can be sent.

When you establish OSPF neighbors over a tunnel, you can use this command to prevent OSPF packet fragmentation on the outgoing tunnel interface. Make sure the maximum length of OSPF packets plus the encapsulated header length is no greater than the outgoing tunnel interface's MTU. For more information, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Examples

# Set the maximum length of OSPF packets that can be sent by VLAN-interface 10.

[Sysname] interface vlan 10
