Specifying An Lsa Transmission Delay - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

To do...
Specify the hello
interval
Specify the poll
interval
Specify the dead
interval
Specify the
retransmission
interval
The hello and dead intervals restore to default values after you change the network type for an
interface.
The dead interval should be at least four times the hello interval on an interface.
The poll interval is at least four times the hello interval.
The retransmission interval should not be so small for avoidance of unnecessary LSA
retransmissions. In general, this value is bigger than the round-trip time of a packet between two
adjacencies.

Specifying an LSA Transmission Delay

Since OSPF packets need time for traveling on links, extending LSA age time with a delay is necessary,
especially for low speed links.
Follow these steps to specify an LSA transmission delay on an interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Specify an LSA transmission
delay
Use the command...
ospf timer hello seconds
ospf timer poll seconds
ospf timer dead seconds
ospf timer retransmit
interval
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
ospf trans-delay seconds
1-37
Remarks
Optional
The hello interval on P2P, Broadcast
interfaces defaults to 10 seconds and
defaults to 30 seconds on P2MP and NBMA
interfaces.
Optional
The poll interval defaults to 120 seconds.
Optional
The default dead interval is 40 seconds on
P2P, Broadcast interfaces and 120 seconds
on P2MP and NBMA interfaces.
Optional
The retransmission interval defaults to 5
seconds.
