I'm wondering,
Everyone who complains of not getting OSPF to work seems to have
weird problems. I'm wondering, are they putting all their maxen on
network 0? I've decided that since we got our new Cisco 7200 that I was
going to put all our maxen on their own little switched part of the
network and see if that would fix things. Fortunately, I've decided to
take that one step further. I'm going to put all the of the MAXen that
run OSPF and have to do stacking across multiple chasis (3) onto their own
stub network. Then, I'm going to put the others that run OSPF on their
own stub network and see if it doesn't decrease the amount of reboots on
the MAXen (the only problem I have with OSPF). I am fairly certain that
all the shortcomings of the MAXen regarding OSPF have to do with it's lack
of processor power. I think that the MAXen just get's so many LSAs that
it starts re-running the SPF algorithm so many time that it just eats up
processor and memmory and then just dies. I'm hoping that by reworking
our OSPF network into stub areas that we'll improve the performance of the
MAXen and increase their time between reboots.
BTW, is there still no way to get CPU and memmory consumption information
on these units?
