To confirm that you enabled RFC-2328–compliant OSPF flooding, use the show ip ospf command.
Dell#show ip ospf
Routing Process ospf 1 with ID 2.2.2.2
Supports only single TOS (TOS0) routes
It is an Autonomous System Boundary Router
It is Flooding according to RFC 2328

OSPF ACK Packing
The OSPF ACK packing feature bundles multiple LS acknowledgements in a single packet, significantly
reducing the number of ACK packets transmitted when the number of LSAs increases.
This feature also enhances network utilization and reduces the number of small ACK packets sent to a
neighboring router. OSPF ACK packing is enabled by default and non-configurable.
Setting OSPF Adjacency with Cisco Routers
To establish an OSPF adjacency between Dell Networking and Cisco routers, the hello interval and dead
interval must be the same on both routers.
The OSPF dead interval value is, by default, set to 40 secondsand is independent of the OSPF hello
interval. Configuring a hello interval does not change the dead interval in the system. In contrast, the
OSPF dead interval on a Cisco router is, by default, four times as long as the hello interval. Changing the
hello interval on the Cisco router automatically changes the dead interval.
To ensure equal intervals between the routers, use the following command.
• Manually set the dead interval of the Dell Networking router to match the Cisco configuration.
INTERFACE mode
ip ospf dead-interval <x>
Examples of Setting and Viewing a Dead Interval
In the following example, the dead interval is set at 4x the hello interval (shown in bold).
Dell(conf)#int te 2/2
Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)#ip ospf hello-interval 20
Dell
(conf-if-te-2/2)#ip ospf dead-interval 80
Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)#
In the following example, the dead interval is set at 4x the hello interval (shown in bold).
Dell (conf-if-te-2/2)#ip ospf dead-interval 20
