Tuning and optimizing OSPF networks

You can optimize your OSPF network in the following ways.

Change OSPF packet timers to adjust the OSPF network convergence speed and network load. On
low speed links, you must consider the delay time for sending LSAs.

Change the SPF calculation interval to reduce resource consumption caused by frequent network
changes.

Configure OSPF authentication to improve security.

Configure OSPF network management functions, such as binding OSPF MIB with a process,
sending trap information and collecting log information.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure OSPF network optimization, complete the following tasks:

Configure IP addresses for interfaces.

Enable OSPF.

Configuring OSPF packet timers

You can configure the following timers on OSPF interfaces as needed.

Hello timer—Interval for sending hello packets. It must be identical on OSPF neighbors. The longer
the interval, the lower the convergence speed, and the smaller the network load.

Poll timer—Interval for sending hello packets to a neighbor that is down on the NBMA network.

Dead timer—Interval within which if the interface receives no hello packet from the neighbor, it

declares the neighbor is down.

LSA retransmission timer—Interval within which if the interface receives no acknowledgement
packets after sending a LSA to the neighbor, it retransmits the LSA.

To configure timers for OSPF packets:
