max-metric router-lsa
Congure the maximum cost of 65535 on a new router so that it functions as a stub router in the network and OSPF trac
destined to other networks is not forwarded on a path through the router.
C-Series, E-Series, Z-Series, S4810
Syntax max-metric router-lsa [on-startup {announce-time | wait-for-bgp [wait-time]}]
To remove the maximum metric assignment from an OSPF router and send LSAs with the currently
congured cost, enter no max-metric router-lsa [on-startup {announce-time | wait-for-bgp [wait-time]}].
Parameters
on-startup
announce-time
Enter the time (in seconds) following boot-up during which the maximum cost
(65535) for transmitting OSPF trac on router interfaces is announced in LSAs
and the router functions as a stub router.
Range: 5 to 86400 seconds.
on-startup wait-
for-bgp [wait-time]
Enable the router to announce the maximum metric in OSPF LSAs until the BGP
routing table converges with updated routes. Default: 600 seconds.
You can also specify the time (in seconds) that the router waits for the BGP
routing table to converge before it stops advertising the maximum cost in LSAs and
advertises the router’s currently congured OSPF cost. Range: 5 to 86400
seconds.
Defaults Not Congured.

Command History
Version 9.1.(0.0) Introduced on the S4810 and Z9000.
Version 8.4.2.5 Introduced on C-Series and E-Series TeraScale.
Version 8.4.1.3 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale.
Usage Information
When you bring a new router onto an OSPF network, you can congure the router to function as a stub
router by globally reconguring the OSPF link cost so that other routers do not use a path that forwards
