Enabling Fast-Convergence
The fast-convergence CLI sets the minimum origination and arrival LSA parameters to zero (0), allowing rapid route calculation.
When you disable fast-convergence, origination and arrival LSA parameters are set to 5 seconds and 1 second, respectively.
Setting the convergence parameter (from 1 to 4) indicates the actual convergence level. Each convergence setting adjusts the LSA
parameters to zero, but the fast-convergence parameter setting allows for even finer tuning of the convergence speed. The higher
the number, the faster the convergence.
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).
