Usage guidelines
Interfaces with different network types operate differently. For example, broadcast interfaces on a
network need to elect a DIS and flood CSNP packets to synchronize the LSDBs, and P2P interfaces on a
network need not elect a DIS and have a different LSDB synchronization mechanism.
If only two routers exist on a broadcast network, configure the network type of attached interfaces as P2P
to avoid DIS election and CSNP flooding, saving network bandwidth, and speeding up network
convergence.
You can perform this configuration only for a broadcast network with only two attached routers.
Examples
# Configure the network type of the GigabitEthernet 1/1 interface as P2P.
<Sysname> system-view
