Hi,

this looks like an integer overflow and could be a bug. SPF will never run with minus timer and I wonder which condition will trigger this.

What versions are your running?

I would start with
debug ospf  <spf, adj, bfd, error)
show cpu-utilization detail | include ospf
show ip os neighbor

and maybe try and set different timers and then restart the router?
E.g.
router ospf
timers throttle spf 5 1000 90000

Hi,



Any ideas, what "Next SPF run wait" actually means in the following output? It is a large negative value which is increasing by absolute value (will never reach zero).



It looks like it never runs SFP as the box doesn't install new routes. I see that it learns the LSAs but it never uses them as routes: show ip routes / show ip ospf routes don't show theses routes, while I see the corresponding LSAs in the OSPF DB. All the neighbor state machinery works well. But active routes are never updated even if an interfaces and a corresponding neighbor fail.

I checked other NetIron boxes (CERs and MLXes) but this line is just not present in the output.



We saw this behavior on another CERs, fixed this by a reboot. Unfortunately I don't have "show ip ospf" before the reboot from those boxes, now this line (Next SFP run wait) is just not present on the rebooted boxes.



Looks like a bug, but maybe I am missing something. Can't it be something like SPF throttling and maybe there is a way to clear this state less disruptively? On the other hand, "clear ip ospf all" did not help yesterday.

Kind regards,
