The retransmission-limit command enables the retransmission limit and set the maximum count of retransmission.
The undo retransmission-limit command cancels the retransmission limit.
By default, the retransmission limit is disabled.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| max-number | Indicates the maximum count of retransmission. | The value is an integer that ranges from 2 to 255. The default value is 30. |
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 when neighbors cannot receive packets.
Configuration Impact
The OSPF retransmission limit can be used in the following packets:
DD packet
Update packet
Request packet
If the three types of packets cannot receive the response packets, enable the retransmission attribute, limit the count of retransmission, and disconnect the neighbor when the retransmission exceeds the specified count.
