z
The hello and dead intervals restore to default values after you change the network type for an
interface.
z
The dead interval should be at least four times the hello interval on an interface.
z
The poll interval is at least four times the hello interval.
z
The retransmission interval should not be so small for avoidance of unnecessary LSA
retransmissions. In general, this value is bigger than the round-trip time of a packet between two
adjacencies.
Specifying an LSA Transmission Delay
Since OSPF packets need time for traveling on links, extending LSA age time with a delay is necessary,
especially for low speed links.
Follow these steps to specify an LSA transmission delay on an interface:

Specifying SPF Calculation Interval
The LSDB changes lead to SPF calculations. When an OSPF network changes frequently, a large
amount of network resources will be occupied, reducing the working efficiency of routers. You can
adjust the SPF calculation interval for the network to reduce negative influence.
