opaque-capability (OSPFv2)

Enables the opaque link-state advertisement (LSA) capability.
Syntax
opaque-capability { disable | enable }
Command Default

The opaque LSA capability is enabled by default.

Parameters
disable
Disables the opaque LSA capability.
enable
Re-enables the opaque LSA capability if it has been disabled.
Modes

OSPF router configuration mode

OSPF router VRF configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

When the opaque LSA capability is disabled, the device does not accept opaque LSAs from a peer. Therefore, these LSAs are not added to the OSPF link state database and are not flooded to the opaque capable peers.

Examples

The following example disables the opaque LSA capability. 

 
device# configure terminal
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# opaque-capability disable

The following example re-enables the opaque LSA capability if it has been disabled. 

 
device# configure terminal
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# opaque-capability enable
