Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

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

Configuration Impact

The OSPF retransmission limit takes effect on the following packets:

DD packets
Update packets
Request packets
If the three types of packets cannot receive response packets, enable RL-for OSPF, limit the number of retransmissions, and disconnect the neighbor when the number of retransmissions exceeds the specified value.

Example

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