Users Guide

1. Configure an OSPF instance from CONFIGURATION mode, from 1 to 65535.
router {ospf | ospfv3} instance-number
2. Set OSPF throttling timers in OSPF INSTANCE mode.
timers spf [start-time [hold-time [max-wait]]]
● start-time — Configure the initial delay before performing an SPF calculation after a topology change, from 1 to
600000 milliseconds; default 1000.
● hold-time — Configure the additional delay before performing an SPF calculation when a new topology change
occurs, from 1 to 600000 milliseconds; default 10000.
● max-wait — Configure the maximum amount of hold time that can delay an SPF calculation, from 1 to 600000
milliseconds; default 10000.

Redistribute routes
Add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the OSPFv2 process and include BGP, static, or connected routes in the
OSPFv2 process. Do not route IBGP routes to OSPFv2 unless there are route-maps associated with the OSPFv2 redistribution.
When you configure the system to redistribute BGP routes to OSPF, by default, the system redistributes only the external BGP
(eBGP) routes. Use the [no] bgp redistribute-internal command under BGP to allow or block the redistribution of
IPv4 or IPv6 internal BGP ((iBGP) routes to OSPF in a default or nondefault VRF instance. To know more information, see
Redistribute iBGP route to OSPF.
