timers throttle lsa all
Configure LSA transmit intervals.
S4820T
Syntax
timers throttle lsa all {start-interval | hold-interval | max-
interval}
To return to the default, use the no timers throttle lsa command.
Parameters
start-interval Set the minimum interval between initial sending and resending the 
same LSA. The range is from 0 to 600,000 milliseconds.
hold-interval Set the next interval to send the same LSA. This interval is the time 
between sending the same LSA after the start-interval has been 
attempted. The range is from 1 to 600,000 milliseconds.
max-interval Set the maximum amount of time the system waits before sending the 
LSA. The range is from 1 to 600,000 milliseconds.
Defaults
• start-interval: 0 msec
• hold-interval: 5000 msec
• max-interval: 5000 msec

The following is a list of the FTOS version history for this command.

Version 8.3.8.0 Introduced on the S4810.
Usage 
Information
LSAs are sent after the start-interval and then after hold-interval until the maximum interval is 
reached. In throttling, exponential backoff is used when sending same LSA, so that the interval 
is multiplied until the maximum time is reached. For example, if the 
start-interval 5000
 and 
hold-
interval 1000
 and 
max-interval 100,000
, the LSA is sent at 5000 msec, then 1000 msec, then 2000 
msec, them 4000 until 100,000 msec is reached.
