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.
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
The timeout is configured with a prefix-limit. If the number of prefixes exceeds the configured limit, the overload state is reached. The routing device remains in the overload state even though the prefixes have been reduced under the limit. Therefore, you need to clear the overload state using the clear (ospf | ospf3) overload command.
Multitopology Routing does not support the timeout option.
Required Privilege Level
routing—To view this statement in the configuration.
