Thanks Joe,
I was able to find the bug you describe yesterday, but I still have no idea as
to what the command actually does. The bug description says:
Customers running OSPF and upgrading to 12.0(8)S will notice the "ip
ospf interface-retry 0" is automatically added to every interface.
This can cause some problems (like interface state being Up, but OSPF
state being Down) in high end routers, with a lot of interfaces.
Workaround:
Configure "ip ospf interface-retry 10" on all interfaces. This will
get nvgen'ed. And is a more appropriate value for this functionality.
It sounds like it determines the number of times OSPF checks the status of the
interface once it determines the interface has gone down. If it doesn't retry
at all (interface-retry 0) then OSPF can remain down even though the interface
has since come back up.
No matter...I've learned enough about this.
Kevin
