Chapter 38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
Configuring OSPF
Changing LSA Group Pacing
The OSPF LSA group pacing feature allows the router to group OSPF LSAs and pace the refreshing,
check-summing, and aging functions for more efficient router use. This feature is enabled by default with
a 4-minute default pacing interval, and you will not usually need to modify this parameter. The optimum
group pacing interval is inversely proportional to the number of LSAs that the router is refreshing,
check-summing, and aging. For example, if you have approximately 10,000 LSAs in the database,
decreasing the pacing interval would benefit you. If you have a very small database (40 to 100 LSAs),
increasing the pacing interval to 10 to 20 minutes might benefit you slightly.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure OSPF LSA pacing:
To return to the default value, use the

timers lsa-group-pacing
router configuration command.
Configuring a Loopback Interface
OSPF uses the highest IP address configured on the interfaces as its router ID. If this interface is down
or removed, the OSPF process must recalculate a new router ID and resend all its routing information
through its interfaces. If a loopback interface is configured with an IP address, OSPF uses this IP address

spf-delay spf-holdtime
spf-wait
(Optional) Configure route calculation timers.
•
spf-delay
—Delay between receiving a change to SPF
calculation. The range is from 1 to 600000 miliseconds.
•
spf-holdtim
e—Delay between first and second SPF calculation.
The range is from 1 to 600000 in milliseconds.
•
spf-wait
—Maximum wait time in milliseconds for SPF
calculations. The range is from 1 to 600000 in milliseconds.
