To conrm that you enabled RFC-2328–compliant OSPF ooding, use the show ip ospf command.
Dell#show ip ospf
Routing Process ospf 1 with ID 2.2.2.2
Supports only single TOS (TOS0) routes
It is an Autonomous System Boundary Router
It is Flooding according to RFC 2328
SPF schedule delay 5 secs, Hold time between two SPFs 10 secs
Number of area in this router is 1, normal 0 stub 0 nssa 1

OSPF ACK Packing
The OSPF ACK packing feature bundles multiple LS acknowledgements in a single packet, signicantly reducing the number of ACK
packets transmitted when the number of LSAs increases.
This feature also enhances network utilization and reduces the number of small ACK packets sent to a neighboring router. OSPF
ACK packing is enabled by default and non-congurable.
Setting OSPF Adjacency with Cisco Routers
To establish an OSPF adjacency between Dell Networking and Cisco routers, the hello interval and dead interval must be the same
on both routers.
In Dell, the OSPF dead interval value is, by default, set to 40 seconds, and is independent of the OSPF hello interval. Conguring a
hello interval does not change the dead interval in Dell. In contrast, the OSPF dead interval on a Cisco router is, by default, four times
as long as the hello interval. Changing the hello interval on the Cisco router automatically changes the dead interval.
For more information regarding this functionality or for assistance, go to http://www.dell.com/support/my-support/.
To ensure equal intervals between the routers, use the following command.
• Manually set the dead interval of the Dell Networking router to match the Cisco conguration.
INTERFACE mode
ip ospf dead-interval <x>
Example of Setting a Dead Interval
Example of Viewing Dead Interval Setting
In the following example, the dead interval is set at 4x the hello interval (shown in bold).
Dell(conf)#int tengig 2/2
Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)#ip ospf hello-interval 20
Dell
(conf-if-te-2/2)#ip ospf dead-interval 80
