Setting the convergence priority for OSPF routes

You can adjust and optimize route selection by setting the convergence priority for OSPF routes.

Context

To set the convergence priority of OSPF routes based on a specified IP prefix list takes effect on the public network only.

OSPF route calculation, link-state advertisement (LSA) flooding, and LSDB synchronization can be implemented according to the configured priority. Therefore, route convergence can be controlled.

When an LSA meets multiple priorities, the highest priority takes effect.

OSPF calculates LSAs in the sequence of intra-area routes, inter-area routes, and AS external routes. This command enables OSPF to calculate the three types of routes separately according to the specified route calculation priorities. Convergence priorities are critical, high, medium, and low. To speed up the processing of LSAs with the higher priority, during LSA flooding, the LSAs need to be placed into the corresponding critical, high, medium, and low queues according to priorities.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run ip ip-prefix ip-prefix-name [ index index-number ] { permit | deny } ipv4-address mask-length [ match-network ] [ greater-equal greater-equal-value ] [ less-equal less-equal-value ] [ description text ]

    An IP prefix list is configured.

  3. Run ospf [ process-id ]

    The OSPF view is displayed.

  4. Run prefix-priority { critical | high | medium } ip-prefix ip-prefix-name

    The convergence priority for OSPF routes is set.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
