O CONFIGURE OSPF INTERFACE PARAMETERS
The OSPF implementation allows you to alter certain interface-specific OSPF
parameters.
Some interface parameters like ‘ip ospf hello-interval’, ‘ip ospf dead-interval’,
and ‘ip ospf authentication-key’ must be consistent across all routers in an
attached network. If you configure any of these parameters, make sure that the
configurations for all the routers on the network should have compatible values.
To specify the interface parameters for the network, enter the following commands
in the Interface Configuration Mode:
Command (in ICM) Description
ip ospf cost <1-65535> Specifies the cost of sending a
packet on an OSPF interface.
The value set by the ‘ip ospf cost’
command overrides the cost resulting
from the auto-cost command.
ip ospf retransmit-interval <1-
65535>
Specifies the time (in seconds)
between LSA retransmissions for
adjacencies belonging to an OSPF
interface.
The default retransmit-interval is 5
seconds.
ip ospf transmit-delay <1-65535> Sets the estimated time in seconds
required to send a link-state update
packet on an OSPF interface.
The default transmit-delay is 1
second.
ip ospf priority <0-255> Sets the priority to help determine the
OSPF designated router for a
network.
The default OSPF interface priority
is 1.
ip ospf hello-interval <1-65535> Specifies the length of time (in
seconds) between the hello packets
that OSPF sends on an interface.
On broadcast network, the default
hello-interval is 10 seconds.
ip ospf dead-interval <1-65535> Sets the number of seconds that a
device must wait before it declares a
neighbor OSPF router dead because
it has not received a hello packet.
On broadcast network, the dead-
interval is four times the hello-
interval.
