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 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 Networking OS to flood LSAs on all interfaces.

Example of Viewing the Debug Log for Flooding Behavior
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.
