timers spf
Enables shortest path first (SPF) throttling to delay an SPF calculation when a topology change occurs.
Syntax
timers spf [start-time [hold-time [max-wait]]]
Parameters
● start-time — Sets the initial SPF delay in milliseconds, from 1 to 600000; default 1000.
● hold-time — Sets the additional hold time between two SPF calculations in milliseconds, from 1 to
600000; default 10000.
● max-wait — Sets the maximum wait time between two SPF calculations in milliseconds, from 1 to
600000; default 10000.
Default
● start-time — 1000 milliseconds
● hold-time — 10000 milliseconds
● max-wait — 10000 milliseconds
Command Mode ROUTER-OSPF
Usage
Information
By default, SPF timers are disabled in an OSPF instance.
Use SPF throttling to delay SPF calculations during periods of network instability. In an OSPF network, a
topology change event triggers an SPF calculation after a start time. When the start timer finishes, a hold
time may delay the next SPF calculation for an additional time. When the hold timer is running:
● Each time a topology change occurs, the SPF calculation delays for double the configured hold time
up to maximum wait time.
● If no topology change occurs, an SPF calculation performs and the hold timer is reset to its configured
value.
If you do not specify a start-time, hold-time, or max-wait value, the default values are used. The no
version of this command removes the configured SPF timers and disables SPF throttling in an OSPF
instance.
