It would certainly stabilize external LSAs - problem is that it blocks ALL
LSAs from exiting the interface.......so if the other end needs to know your
LSAs.....

I bet you have redistribution on the router, and that the other protocol
includes your ISDN interface in it's 'network' classification - even though
you are probably using passive-interface, the network is distributed into
OSPF - when the link goes down, OSPF is updated via redistribution, hence
LSA seq no is incremented, and OSPF demand circuit is brought up since LSA
has changed.....so filter your redistribution....

Has anyone tried the following command?

"ospf database-filter"

I am wondering if it would help stabalize external LSAs that are triggering
an OSPF demand circuit...

I came across this command while testing OSPF on demand circuits across
ISDN. The design guide says to put your on demand circuits in a stub or
nssa area whenever possible. I thought I would try to get it working w/o
using a stub area. So, the On Demand Circuit resides in Area 0, and I
cannot keep the link from bouncing. (Design guides are accurate beasts). I
am finding External LSAs are bringing it up.

If the above command could be applied, perhaps I could prevent the link from
bouncing. I would try it but one of my ISDN routers is running 11.2.(16).

Has anyone else tried this?

2 days until my next attempt...

Thanks,

JR
