Setting the Retransmit Interval
The retransmit interval is the number of seconds between link-state advertisement
retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to this interface.
Each type of network has an optimum retransmit interval. If the interface is
connected to a broadcast network, Bay Networks suggests you use the default
setting of 5 seconds. Table 7-2
lists the suggested settings for network types
supported by OSPF.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify a retransmit interval.
Using the BCC
Navigate to an interface-specific OSPF prompt and enter:
retransmission-interval
interval
interval is the number of seconds between retransmissions.
For example, the following command specifies an OSPF retransmission interval
of 10 seconds for IP interface 2.2.2.2:
ospf/2.2.2.2# retransmission-interval 10
ospf/2.2.2.2#
