OSPF Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)

Router verifies MTU when DD (Database Description) is exchanging among the routers
on OSPF networks. Basically, OSPF network can not be organized if there are different
sizes of MTUs between routers. Therefore MTU value must be consistent. Generally MTU
value is 1500 bytes on Ethernet interface.

To configure MTU on OSPF interface, use the following command.

Command Mode

Description

ip ospf mtu

<576-65535>

Configures an MTU on OSPF interface.

no ip ospf mtu

Interface

Deletes a configured MTU on OSPF interface.

Configuration as above makes MTU consistently on same OSPF network; actual MTU
value on interface itself will not be changed.

On the other hands, if there are two routers which have different MTU, it can be partici-
pated with OSPF network through the configuration that skips the verification of MTU
value when there is DD exchanging.

To configure the switch to skip the MTU verification in DD process, use the following
command.

Command Mode

Description

ip ospf mtu-ignore

ip ospf

A.B.C.D mtu-ignore

Interface

Configures the switch to skip the MTU verification in
DD process.

To configure the switch not to skip the MTU verification in DD process, use the following
command.

Command Mode

Description

no ip ospf mtu-ignore

no ip ospf

A.B.C.D mtu-ignore

Interface

Configures the switch not to skip the MTU verification
in DD process.

10.2.4.7 OSPF

Priority

Routers have each role to exchange the information on OSPF network. DR (Designated
Router) is one of essential role to get and transmit the route information in the same area.

The router having the highest priority becomes DR (Designated Router). If there are
routers which have same priority, the highest router ID will be DR.

Normally, router has priority 1, but it can be changed to make DR through the configura-
tion of priority.

To configure a priority of OSPF router, use the following command.

Command Mode

Description

ip ospf priority

<0-255>

ip ospf A.B.C.D

priority <0-255>

Interface

Configures a priority of OSPF router.
