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?
