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:
