Usage
Information
In OSPF, flooding is the most resource-consuming task. The flooding algorithm, described in RFC-2328,
requires that OSPF flood LSAs (Link State Advertisements) on all interfaces, as governed by LSA’s
flooding scope (see Section 13 of the RFC). When multiple direct links connect two routers, the
RFC-2328 flooding algorithm generates significant redundant information across all links.
By default, Dell EMC Networking OS implements an enhanced flooding procedure that dynamically and
intelligently determines when to optimize flooding. Whenever possible, the OSPF task attempts to reduce
flooding overhead by selectively flooding on a subset of the interfaces between two routers.
When you enable flood-2328, this command configures Dell EMC Networking OS to flood LSAs on all
interfaces.
