Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When a device transmits an LSA to its neighbor, it has to wait for the ACK packet from the neighbor. If no ACK packet is received from the neighbor in the LSA retransmission interval, this LSA is retransmitted.

Do not set LSA retransmission intervals too short between adjacent routers. Otherwise, it leads to unnecessary retransmission.

Precautions

OSPF does not support the configuration on a null interface.

Example

# Specify the interval for retransmitting LSAs between VLANIF100 and the adjacent device to 8 seconds.

# Specify the interval for retransmitting LSAs between GE0/0/1 and the adjacent device to 8 seconds.
