Description

Configure the local routing device so that it appears to be overloaded. You might do this when you want the routing device to participate in OSPF routing, but do not want it to be used for transit traffic.

Note: Traffic destined to directly attached interfaces continues to reach the routing device.

Options

timeout seconds—(Optional) Number of seconds at which the overloading is reset. If no timeout interval is specified, the routing device remains in overload state until the overload statement is deleted or a timeout is set.

Range: 60 through 1800 seconds

Default: 0 seconds

Note: Multitopology Routing does not support the timeout option.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
