database-overflow
This command dynamically limits the size of OSPF Link‐State database overflow, a condition
where the XSR is unable to maintain the database in its entirety. Typically, database overflow
occurs when a router imports a large number of external, Type 5 LSA routes into OSPF. This
command lets you control other LSA types as well: 1‐4, 7, and 10.
Usually, this problem can be averted by proper configuration of OSPF routers into stub areas or
NSSAs, since AS‐external LSAs are omitted from this type of Link‐State databases. But, in the
event of an unexpected database overflow, there is insufficient time to perform this type of
isolation.
