ospf [ process-id ]
The OSPF process view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
retransmission-limit [ max-number ]
The maximum number of OSPF packet retransmission attempts is set.
max-number specifies the maximum number of packet retransmission attempts and is 30 by
default.

4.3.8 (Optional) Setting an Interval at Which an LSA Packet Is
Retransmitted to the Neighboring switch
You can control packet retransmission and improve the convergence rate by setting an interval
at which an LSA packet is retransmitted to the neighboring switch.
Context
After sending an LSA packet to the neighboring switch, the switch waits for a response. If no
response is received within the set interval, the switch retransmits the LSA packet to the
neighboring switch.
Perform the following steps on the switch running OSPF.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
ospf timer retransmit interval
An interval at which an LSA packet is retransmitted to the neighboring switch is set.
Setting the interval to a proper value is recommended. A rather small interval will cause
unnecessary retransmission. The interval is generally longer than a round trip of one packet
transmitted between two switches.
The default retransmission interval is 5s and is widely used.

4.3.9 (Optional) Configuring an Interface to Fill in a DD Packet with
the Interface MTU
You can configure an interface to fill in the Interface MTU field of a DD packet with the interface
MTU.
