Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The retransmission-limit command can be used to enable Retransmission Limitation for OSPF (RL-for OSPF) to prevent dead loops caused by repeated transmissions if neighbors cannot receive packets.

Configuration Impact

The OSPF retransmission limit can be used in the following packets:

DD packets
LSU packets
LSR packets

Limit the maximum number of retransmissions. If the preceding three types of packets cannot be responded within the allowed retransmission times, disconnect neighbor relationships.

Example

# Enable OSPF retransmission limit and set the maximum number of retransmissions to 40.
