incremented each time the router originates a new LSA.o Received New LSA Count — The number of LSAs received, determined to be new instantiations. This

number does not include newer instantiations of self-originated LSAs.o Ext LSA Limit — The maximum number of non-default AS-external-LSAs entries that can be stored in

the link state database. If the value is –1, then there is no limit. When the number of non-default AS-external-LSAs in a router’s link state database reaches Ext. LS Limit, the router enters Overflow State. The router never holds more than Ext. LS Limit non-default AS-external-LSAs in its database. Ext. LS Limit must be set identically in all routers attached to the OSPF backbone and/or any regular OSPF area (that is, OSPF stub areas and NSSAs are excluded).

Bit 1, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams between OSPF areas (called inter-area multicast routing).

Bit 2, if set, indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams between Autonomous Systems (called inter-AS multicast routing).

Only certain combinations of bit settings are allowed, namely:

No multicast forwarding is enabled. This is the default value.

Intra-area multicasting only.Intra-area and inter-area multicasting.Intra-area and inter-AS multicasting.Multicasting everywhere.

o Exit Overflow Interval — The number of seconds that, after entering Overflow State, a router will attempt to leave Overflow State. This allows the router to again originate non-default AS-external-LSAs. When set to 0, the router will not leave Overflow State until restarted.

o Demand Extensions — The router's support for demand routing.

65 Configure Network SyncThis page is used to configure network synchronization. The network synchronization can be either input or output.

Figure 74 The Configure Network Sync Page

General

Network Sync — Enable or disable Network Synchronization. The default value is disabled. Sync Switch Mode — Sets the mode for the sync switch. Possible values are:o Normal Operation — Enables automatic sync source selection according to Sync Selection Mode.o Forced to Holdover — Forces the node to enter holdover status. No sync source is active.o Forced to (corresponding interface) — Forces the node to a prescribed sync source. Sync Selection Mode — Sets the mode for sync selection. Possible values are:o QL-Enabled (Quality + Priority) — Selection of sync source based on quality first and priority second.o QL-Disabled (Priority) — Selection of sync source only based on priority.

The default value is QL-Enabled.

Node Squelching — Enable or disable squelching on the node. The squelch logic distributes information on poor or lost synchronization input to interfaces that cannot signal SSM, for these to send AIS or to mute the signal. For interfaces that are configured as 2 MHz, the sync signal is muted, for other configurations an AIS is sent. This is only applicable for interfaces that are squelch enabled. The default value is disabled.

Sync Ports

Format — Selects the format for the sync port. Possible values are:o 2 MHz — Sets the synchronization clock interface to 2 MHz.o 2 Mbit/s — Sets the synchronization clock interface to 2 Mbit/s. Enable Squelch Control — Enable or disable squelch functionality for the dedicated sync port.

Status

Status — Displays the status of the synchronization on the node. Availability — Indicates the equipment status of the network synchronization with respect to holdover

capability. Possible values are:o Unavailable — No board is operational.o Available — One board is operational.o Protected — More than one board is operational.o Equipment Error — A board is faulty.

priority. The value range is 1-4, where 1 is the highest priority. 4 is the default value. Module — Displays the name and position of the sync source. Interface — Displays the name and position of the sync interface. Interfaces that are configured as 2 MHz

sync source are indicated with (2 MHz) after the interface name. Assigned Quality — All interfaces in the nominated sync interface list have the possibility to be assigned

a fixed quality level. Possible values are:o PRC — Can be used as sync source.o SSU-A — Can be used as sync source.o SSU-B — Can be used as sync source.

o SEC — Can not be used as sync source.o Not Assigned

Where SSU-B is the default value.

Actual Quality — Displays the actual quality of the synchronization on the interface. This is used by the sync source selection process when Sync Selection Mode is QL-Enabled.

Hold Off Time (ms) — Displays the hold off time for the sync interface, which is the time before the sync quality level is set to failed in case of a quality drop. The value is shown in ms and the default value is 500.

Wait To Restore Time (s) — Displays the wait to restore time in seconds for the sync interface. The Wait To Restore Time is used to assure that a synchronization input signal is stable before it is used. The value range is 0 - 10, with 10 as the default value.

Include Signal Degrade — Displays if signal degrade is included or not when determination of the Actual Quality. This controls error distribution assumed for calculation of Signal Degrade alarm. Possible values are Yes and No.

Locked Out — Displays if the interface is locked out from the sync source selection process. Possible values are Yes and No.
