Usage Guidelines

OSPF is compatible with RFC 1583 (OSPFv2) and maintains a single best route to an autonomous system (AS) boundary router in the OSPF routing table. Disabling this compatibility causes the OSPF routing table to maintain multiple intra-AS paths, which helps prevent routing loops.

Enter no rfc1583-compatibility to disable compatibility with RFC 1583.

Examples

The following example disables compatibility with RFC 1583. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router ospf
device(config-ospf-router)# no rfc1583-compatibility
