OSPF Commands 249
Example
The following example specifies 60 seconds between link-state advertisement (LSA)
retransmissions for IP interface 1.100.100.100 adjacencies.
ospf transmit-delay
The ospf transmit-delay interface configuration command sets the estimated time required to
send a link-state update packet on an interface. To return to the default value, use the
no form of
this command.
Syntax
ospf transmit-delay seconds
no ospf transmit-delay
• seconds —Time (in seconds) required to send a link-state update. (Range: 1 - 3600)
Default Configuration
The default time is 1 second.
Command Mode
IP Interface Configuration
User Guidelines
Link-state advertisements (LSAs) in the update packet must have their ages incremented by
the amount specified in the
seconds argument before transmission. The value assigned should
take into account the transmission and propagation delays for the interface.
If the delay is not added before transmission over a link, the time in which the LSA
propagates over the link is not considered. This setting has more significance on very low-
speed links.
Example
The following example sets the estimated time required to send a link-state update packet on IP
interface 1.100.100.100 to 60 seconds.
Console(config)# interface ip 1.100.100.100
Console(config-if)# ospf re-transmit-interval 60
Console(config)# interface ip 1.100.100.100
Console(config-if)# ospf transmit-delay 60
