Configuring Route Calculation Timers

Timers are used by routing protocols to determine time intervals for when route
information is adjusted:
Use the timers spf command in Router Configuration mode to configure the delay
time after OSPF receives a topology change until it starts a shortest path first (SPF)
calculation and hold time between two consecutive SPF calculations, as shown in the
following example:
MOT(config-ospf)# timers spf {<0-65535> <0-65535>}
where:

Configuring OSPF on an Interface

The following sections are used to configure interface-specific parameters for OSPF
and how to set up OSPF on a passive or loopback interface:

Configuring General OSPF Interface Parameters

You can change certain interface-specific OSPF parameters using the ip ospf
hello-interval, ip ospf dead-interval, and ip ospf authentication-key commands. If
you change these parameters, ensure that the configurations for all routers on your
network have compatible values. You can change the parameters shown in

0-65535 is the time delay in seconds between receiving a change to the SPF
calculation.
0-65535 is the hold-time in seconds between consecutive SPF calculations.
