Configuring OSPF Timers

OSPF routers constantly track the status of their neighbors, sending and receiving hello packets that indicate whether the neighbor still is functioning, and sending and receiving link-state advertisement and acknowledgment packets. OSPF sends packets and expects to receive packets at specified intervals.

You can perform the following tasks when modifying the OSPF timers:

• Modifying the Hello Interval
• Controlling the LSA Retransmission Interval
• Modifying the Router Dead Interval
• Specifying the Transit Delay
