Processing SNMP and Sending SNMP Traps
Only the process in default vrf can process the SNMP requests and send SNMP traps.
NOTE: SNMP gets request corresponding to the OspfNbrOption field in the OspfNbrTable returns a value of 66.
RFC-2328 Compliant OSPF Flooding
In OSPF, flooding is the most resource-consuming task. The flooding algorithm described in RFC 2328 requires that OSPF flood LSAs on
all interfaces, as governed by LSA’s flooding scope (refer to 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 which dynamically and intelligently detects when to
optimize flooding. Wherever possible, the OSPF task attempts to reduce flooding overhead by selectively flooding on a subset of the
interfaces between two routers.
Enabling RFC-2328 Compliant OSPF Flooding
To enable OSPF flooding, use the following command.
When you enable this command, it configures Dell EMC Networking OS to flood LSAs on all interfaces.
Enable RFC 2328 flooding.

To confirm RFC 2328 flooding behavior, use the debug ip ospf packet command. The following example shows no change in the
updated packets (shown in bold).
ACKs 2 (shown in bold) is printed only for ACK packets.
