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 congured 
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 trac 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.
