Controlling Spf Calculation Interval; Configuring Convergence Priorities For Specific Routes; Setting The Lsdb Overload Bit - HP 6125XLG Layer 3 - Ip Routing Configuration Manual

Controlling SPF calculation interval

Based on the LSDB, an IS-IS router uses the SPF algorithm to calculate the shortest path tree with itself
being the root, and uses the shortest path tree to determine the next hop to a destination network. By
adjusting the SPF calculation interval, you can prevent bandwidth and router resources from being over
consumed due to frequent topology changes.
When network changes are not frequent, the minimum-interval is adopted. If network changes become
frequent, the SPF calculation interval is incremented by incremental-interval × 2
calculation times) each time a calculation occurs until the maximum-interval is reached.
To control SPF calculation interval:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter IS-IS view.
3. Configure the SPF
calculation interval.

Configuring convergence priorities for specific routes

A topology change causes IS-IS routing convergence. To improve convergence speed, you can assign
convergence priorities to IS-IS routes. Convergence priority levels are critical, high, medium, and low. The
higher the convergence priority, the faster the convergence speed.
By default, IS-IS host routes have medium convergence priority, and other IS-IS routes have low
convergence priority.
To assign convergence priorities to specific IS-IS routes:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter IS-IS view.
3. Assign convergence priorities
to specific IS-IS routes.

Setting the LSDB overload bit

By setting the overload bit in sent LSPs, a router informs other routers of failures that make it unable to
select routes and forward packets.
