How to Change the LSP Size

Internetwork Packet Exchange
default—and maximum—pace for NLSP packets is 30 pps; on a
WAN, the NLSP pace is derived from the throughput of the link.
The default value for this parameter is 0, which means do not
override the current pace.

The larger the packet a network can carry, the fewer LSPs are required to
propagate an NLSP router's link state information on that network. However,
the LSP used by the router must be no larger than the largest frame size
supported by the network, less 30 bytes for the IPX header. For example, an
ARCnet* LAN can transmit no more than 576 bytes at a time. If you leave
LSP Size at the default value of 1024, the LSP cannot be transmitted across
the LAN because it is too large. The result is that the network is prevented
from converging.
Before you begin, you should know the maximum frame size supported by the
network to which the NLSP router is connected.
To change the size of the LSP that a router transmits, complete the following
steps:
1
Load NIASCFG, then select the following parameter path:
Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Protocols > IPX >
