ip ospf retransmit-interval
Use this command to specify the time between link-state advertisement (LSA) retransmissions
for adjacencies belonging to the interface.
Use the
no
parameter with this command to return to the default value of 5 seconds.
Syntax
ip ospf [<ip_address>] retransmit-interval <interval>
no ip ospf [<ip_address>] retransmit-interval
Mode
Interface mode
Usage
After sending an LSA to a neighbor, the router keeps the LSA until it receives an
acknowledgement. In case the router does not receive an acknowledgement during the set
time (the retransmit interval value) it retransmits the LSA. Set the retransmission interval value
conservatively to avoid needless retransmission. The interval should be greater than the
expected round-trip delay between two routers.
Examples
The following example shows setting the
ospf retransmit interval
to 6 seconds on
the vlan2 interface.
awplus#configure terminal
awplus(config)#interface vlan2
awplus(config-if)#ip ospf retransmit-interval 6
Parameter
Description
<ip_address>
The IP address of the interface.
<interval>
<1-65535>
Specifies the interval in seconds. The default interval is 5
seconds.
