Setting an Interval for Retransmitting LSAs to Neighboring Routers
After a router sends an LSA to its neighbor, the router expects to receive an LSAck packet from its neighbor. If the router does not receive an LSAck packet within the LSA retransmission interval, it retransmits the LSA to the neighbor.
Procedure
- Access the system view.
- Access the interface view.
interface interface-type interface-number
- Set an interval for retransmitting LSAs to neighboring
routers.
ospfv3 timer retransmit interval [ instance instance-id ]
The value of seconds must be greater than the time taken to transmit a packet between two routers.
Do not set a value which is too small, for the interval between LSA retransmissions. Otherwise, unnecessary retransmissions may occur.
