- <tag><label id="proto-tx-class">tx class|dscp <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="proto-tx-class">tx class|dscp <m/number/</tag>
This option specifies the value of ToS/DS/Class field in IP headers of
the outgoing protocol packets. This may affect how the protocol packets
are processed by the network relative to the other network traffic. With
keyword, the value (0-63) is used just for the DS field in the octet.
Default value is 0xc0 (DSCP 0x30 - CS6).
- <tag><label id="proto-tx-priority">tx priority <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="proto-tx-priority">tx priority <m/number/</tag>
This option specifies the local packet priority. This may affect how the
protocol packets are processed in the local TX queues. This option is
Linux specific. Default value is 7 (highest priority, privileged traffic).
Show a topology of OSPF areas based on a content of the link-state
database. It is just a stripped-down version of 'show ospf state'.

Show contents of an OSPF LSA database. Options could be used to filter
entries.
Dump content of a routing table to a specified file in MRT table dump
format. See <ref id="mrt" name="MRT protocol"> for details.
- <tag><label id="cli-configure">configure [soft] ["<m/config file/"] [timeout [<m/num/]]</tag>
+ <tag><label id="cli-configure">configure [soft] ["<m/config file/"] [timeout [<m/number/]]</tag>
Reload configuration from a given file. BIRD will smoothly switch itself
to the new configuration, protocols are reconfigured if possible,
restarted otherwise. Changes in filters usually lead to restart of
wired interface, but turns on RTT-based metrics with a default cost of 96.
Default: <cf/wired/.
- <tag><label id="babel-rxcost">rxcost <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="babel-rxcost">rxcost <m/number/</tag>
This option specifies the nominal RX cost of the interface. The effective
neighbor costs for route metrics will be computed from this value with a
mechanism determined by the interface <cf/type/. Note that in contrast to
selection and not local route selection. Default: 96 for wired interfaces,
256 for wireless.
- <tag><label id="babel-limit">limit <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="babel-limit">limit <m/number/</tag>
BIRD keeps track of received Hello messages from each neighbor to
establish neighbor reachability. For wired type interfaces, this option
specifies how many of last 16 hellos have to be correctly received in
session requests from protocols in the same VRF.

Default: 1 s.
- <tag><label id="bfd-multiplier">multiplier <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="bfd-multiplier">multiplier <m/number/</tag>
Failure detection time for BFD sessions is based on established rate of
BFD control packets (<cf>min rx/tx interval</cf>) multiplied by this
multiplier, which is essentially (ignoring jitter) a number of missed
disabled if necessary, as it restricts the range of available instance
IDs. Default value is yes.
- <tag><label id="ospf-instance-id">instance id <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-instance-id">instance id <m/number/</tag>
When multiple OSPF protocol instances are active on the same links, they
should use different instance IDs to distinguish their packets. Although
it could be done on per-interface basis, it is often preferred to set

proper support for local graceful restart requires also configuration of
other protocols. Default: aware.
- <tag><label id="ospf-graceful-restart-time">graceful restart time <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-graceful-restart-time">graceful restart time <m/number/</tag>
The restart time is announced in the Grace-LSA and specifies how long
neighbors should wait for proper end of the graceful restart before
exiting helper mode prematurely. Default: 120 seconds.

used, for example, to aggregate generated stub networks.
- <tag><label id="ospf-iface">interface <M>pattern</M> [instance <m/num/]</tag>

Defines that the specified interfaces belong to the area being defined.
See <ref id="proto-iface" name="interface"> common option for detailed
description. In OSPFv2, extended interface clauses are used, because
ID support is an extension (<rfc id="6549">) and is supposed to be set
per-protocol. For OSPFv3, it is an integral feature.

+ <tag><label id="ospf-virtual-link">virtual link <M>id</M> [instance <m/number/]</tag>
Virtual link to router with the router id. Virtual link acts as a
point-to-point interface belonging to backbone. The actual area is used
as a transport area. This item cannot be in the backbone. Like with
set to <cf/tx only/, TTL 255 is used for sent packets, but is not
checked for received packets. Default value is no.
- <tag><label id="ospf-tx-class">tx class|dscp|priority <m/num/</tag>
+ <tag><label id="ospf-tx-class">tx class|dscp|priority <m/number/</tag>
These options specify the ToS/DiffServ/Traffic class/Priority of the
outgoing OSPF packets. See <ref id="proto-tx-class" name="tx class"> common
option for detailed description.

This option specifies the metric of the interface. When a route is

before further processing. Valid values are 1-255, but values higher
