Configuring OSPF Network Optimization

You can optimize your OSPF network in the following ways:

z

Change OSPF packet timers to adjust the OSPF network convergence speed and network load.

On low speed links, you need to consider the delay time for sending LSAs on interfaces.

z

Change the interval for SPF calculation to reduce resource consumption caused by frequent

network changes.

z

Configure OSPF authentication to meet high security requirements of some mission-critical

networks.

z

Configure OSPF network management functions, such as binding OSPF MIB with a process,

sending trap information and collecting log information.

Prerequisites

Before configuring OSPF network optimization, you have configured:

z

IP addresses for interfaces;

z

OSPF basic functions.

Configuring OSPF Packet Timers

You can configure the following timers on OSPF interfaces as needed:

z

Hello timer: Interval for sending hello packets. It must be identical on OSPF neighbors. The longer

the interval, the lower convergence speed and smaller network load.

z

Poll timer: Interval for sending hello packets to the neighbor that is down on the NBMA network.

z

Dead timer: Interval within which if the interface receives no hello packet from the neighbor, it

declares the neighbor is down.

z

LSA retransmission timer: Interval within which if the interface receives no acknowledgement

packets after sending a LSA to the neighbor, it will retransmit the LSA.

Follow these steps to configure timers for OSPF packets:
