Section 5.18.6

Managing LSP Generation

IS-IS generates new Link-State Packets (LSPs) every 30 seconds by default. However, the interval can be
configured anywhere between 1 and 120 seconds.
Since the introduction of a new LSP causes other routers in the area to recalculate routes, it is recommended to
increase the interval to decrease flooding during periods of network instability, so as to reduce the load on other
routers in the area.
The following sections describe how to configure and manage generation intervals for LSPs:
• Section 5.18.6.1, "Viewing a List of LSP Generation Intervals"
