protocols ospf area <area-id> shortcut <mode>
Sets the OSPF shortcut mode for an ABR.
The shortcut mode is default.
- process pid
- Specifies the PID of an IPv4 OSPF process.
- area-id
- The ID of the OSPF area being configured, expressed as an IP address or a decimal value.
- mode
- A shortcut mode. The mode is one of the following:
default: If the ABR has an active backbone connection, the specified area is not used for shortcutting and the ABR does not set the shortcut bit (S-bit) in the router-LSA that is originated for the area. If the ABR does not have a backbone connection, the area is always used for shortcutting and the ABR sets the S-bit in the router-LSA for that area.
disable: The ABR does not use the specified area for shortcutting and does not set the S-bit in the router-LSA that is originated for the area.
enable: If the ABR has an active backbone connection, the ABR sets the S-bit in the router-LSA and the specified area is used for shortcutting provided that all other ABRs seen through this area also report the S-bit. If the ABR does not have a backbone connection, the ABR unconditionally uses the area for shortcutting and sets the S-bit in the router-LSA that is originated for the area.
