Hi
we re running VSS with 2 6513-E switches. (Version 15.1(2)SY3)
We also run ospf.
I can not seem to find answers in the documentation for the follwoing questions:
I want to enable nsf under ospf during production hours.
Q1: when i configure nsf, will nsf affect ospf? (In other words, will ospf have to initialize, re- form neighborships, recalc, etc) ?
Also i want to configure: mac-address-table synchronize
Q2: will this affect the state of the current mac addres table?
Thanks in advance

Hi
i just tested this , it did not drop my opsf neighbors or have any effect on the LSDB , see below also for mac answer it will purge be careful
1 16(config-router)#do show ip route
2
mac-address-table synchronize
mac-address-table aging-time 0 routed-mac
Note: “mac-address-table synchronize command purges the routed MAC entires. In order to
avoid this, disable the routed MAC purging with the mac-address-table aging-time 0
routed-mac global configuration command.”
The mac-address-table aging-time 0 routed-mac in the SXH code train has been deprecated,
So as we move to SXH this command is no longer needed when using the synchronized
functions.

Hi Mark
many thanks for taking the time to test this in your lab!!
Good to know that enabling nsf would not lead to any issues during production hours.
In addition to your post i also ran
show ip proto
and it seems nsf is already enabled by default (Version 15.1(2)SY3)
#sh ip proto
*** IP Routing is NSF aware ***
As for my second Q, it seems this feature is also enabled by default.
#show mac-address-table synchronize statistics
MAC Entry Out-of-band Synchronization Feature Statistics:
---------------------------------------------------------
Switch [1] Module [1]
----------- -----------
Module Status:
Statistics collected from Switch/module : 1/1
Global Status:
Status of feature enabled on the switch : on
Default activity time : 160
Configured current activity time : 160
So it seems there s nothing to worry about considering nsf and mac sync
Anyway, thanks a lot again!
