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