Command Mode ROUTER-OSPF
Usage
Information
Setting the LSA arrival time between receiving the LSA repeatedly ensures that the system gets enough
time to accept the LSA. The no version of this command resets the value to the default.
Example
OS10(config)# router ospf 10
OS10(conf-router-ospf-10)# timers lsa arrival 2000

timers spf
Enables shortest path first (SPF) throttling to delay an SPF calculation when a topology change occurs.
Syntax
timers spf [start-time [hold-time [max-wait]]]
Parameters
● start-time — Sets the initial SPF delay in milliseconds, from 1 to 600000; default 1000.
● hold-time — Sets the additional hold time between two SPF calculations in milliseconds, from 1 to
600000; default 10000.
● max-wait — Sets the maximum wait time between two SPF calculations in milliseconds, from 1 to
600000; default 10000.
Default
● start-time — 1000 milliseconds
● hold-time — 10000 milliseconds
● max-wait — 10000 milliseconds
Command Mode ROUTER-OSPF
Usage
Information
By default, SPF timers are disabled in an OSPF instance.
Use SPF throttling to delay SPF calculations during periods of network instability. In an OSPF network, a
topology change event triggers an SPF calculation after a start time. When the start timer finishes, a hold
time may delay the next SPF calculation for an additional time. When the hold timer is running:
● Each time a topology change occurs, the SPF calculation delays for double the configured hold time
up to maximum wait time.
● If no topology change occurs, an SPF calculation performs and the hold timer is reset to its configured
value.
If you do not specify a start-time, hold-time, or max-wait value, the default values are used. The no
version of this command removes the configured SPF timers and disables SPF throttling in an OSPF
instance.
Example
OS10(config)# router ospf 100
OS10(config-router-ospf-100)# timers spf 1200 2300 3400
OS10(config-router-ospf-100)# do show ip ospf
