Dell S4048T Configuration Manual page 726

To enable or disable fast-convergence, use the following command.
• Enable OSPF fast-convergence and specify the convergence level.
CONFIG-ROUTEROSPF- id mode
fast-convergence {number}
The parameter range is from 1 to 4.
The higher the number, the faster the convergence.
When disabled, the parameter is set at 0.
NOTE: A higher convergence level can result in occasional loss of OSPF adjacency. Generally,
convergence level 1 meets most convergence requirements. Only select higher convergence levels
following consultation with Dell Technical Support.
Examples of the fast-converge Command
In the following examples, Convergence Level shows the fast-converge parameter setting and Min LSA
origination shows the LSA parameters (shown in bold).
Dell(conf-router_ospf-1)#fast-converge 2
Dell(conf-router_ospf-1)#ex
Dell(conf)#ex
Dell#show ip ospf 1
Routing Process ospf 1 with ID 192.168.67.2
Supports only single TOS (TOS0) routes
SPF schedule delay 5 secs, Hold time between two SPFs 10 secs
Convergence Level 2
Min LSA origination 0 secs, Min LSA arrival 0 secs

Changing OSPFv2 Parameters on Interfaces
In Dell Networking OS, you can modify the OSPF settings on the interfaces.
Some interface parameter values must be consistent across all interfaces to avoid routing errors. For example,
set the same time interval for the hello packets on all routers in the OSPF network to prevent
misconfiguration of OSPF neighbors.
To change OSPFv2 parameters on the interfaces, use any or all of the following commands.
• Change the cost associated with OSPF traffic on the interface.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
