allows for even finer tuning of the convergence speed. The higher the number, the faster the
convergence.
To enable or disable fast-convergence, use the following command.
• Enable OSPF fast-convergence and specify the convergence level.
CONFIG-ROUTEROSPF- id mode
fast-convergence { number }
The parameter range is from 1 to 4.
The higher the number, the faster the convergence.
When disabled, the parameter is set at 0.
NOTE: A higher convergence level can result in occasional loss of OSPF adjacency. Generally,
convergence level 1 meets most convergence requirements. Only select higher convergence
levels following consultation with Dell Technical Support.
Examples of the
fast-converge
Command
In the examples below,
Convergence Level
shows the fast-converge parameter setting and
Min LSA
origination
shows the LSA parameters (shown in bold).

Changing OSPFv2 Parameters on Interfaces
In Dell Networking OS, you can modify the OSPF settings on the interfaces.
Some interface parameter values must be consistent across all interfaces to avoid routing errors. For
example, set the same time interval for the hello packets on all routers in the OSPF network to prevent
misconfiguration of OSPF neighbors.
To change OSPFv2 parameters on the interfaces, use any or all of the following commands.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3)
