Connectivity Guide

• 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 nishes, 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 congured hold time up to
maximum wait time.
• If no topology change occurs, an SPF calculation performs and the hold timer is reset to its congured 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 congured 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

timers throttle lsa all
Congures the LSA transmit intervals.
Syntax
timers lsa all [start-interval | hold-interval | max-interval]
Parameters
• start-interval — Sets the minimum interval between initial sending and re-sending the same LSA in
milliseconds, from 0 to 600,000.
• hold-interval — Sets the next interval to send the same LSA in milliseconds. This is the time between
sending the same LSA after the start-interval is attempted, from 1 to 600,000.
•
max-interval — Sets the maximum amount of time the system waits before sending the LSA in
milliseconds, from 1 to 600,000.
.
Default
• start-interval — 0 milliseconds
• hold-interval — 5000 milliseconds
