Configuring OSPF Wait Interval
ExtremeWare allows you to configure the OSPF wait interval, rather than using the router dead interval.
CAUTION
Do not configure OSPF timers unless you are comfortable exceeding OSPF specifications.
Non-standard settings might not be reliable under all circumstances.
To specify the timer intervals, use the following command:
config ospf vlan
>] You can configure the following parameters: • Retransmit interval (RxmtInterval) —The length of time that the router waits before retransmitting an LSA that is not acknowledged. If you set an interval that is too short, unnecessary retransmissions • Transit delay (TransitDelay) —The length of time it takes to transmit an LSA packet over the interface. The transit delay must be greater than 0. • Hello interval (HelloInterval) —The interval at which routers send hello packets. Smaller times allow routers to discover each other more quickly, but also increase network traffic. The default • Dead router wait interval (RouterDeadInterval) —The interval after which a neighboring router is declared down due to the fact that hello packets are no longer received from the neighbor. This • Router wait interval (WaitInterval) —The interval between the interface coming up and the election of the DR and BDR. This interval should be greater than the hello interval. If it is close to the hello NOTE The OSPF standard specifies that wait times are equal to the dead router wait interval. enable ospf export static [cost Enables the distribution of static routes into the enable ospf originate-default {always} cost Configures a default external LSA to be always is specified, OSPF always advertises the default route.
