Cisco OSPF Command and Configuration Handbook (paperback)

19-20 ip ospf transmit-delay seconds

Syntax Description:

• seconds ” The range of values is 1 to 8192 seconds. The default value is 1 second.

Purpose: When an LSA is created, the router sets the LS age field to 0. The transmit delay value is added to the age field of the LSA. This initial value represents the time delay of propagating the LSA over the interface.

Initial Cisco IOS Software Release: 10.0

Configuration Example: Modifying the Transmit Delay Value for an OSPF Interface

Configure the network in Figure 19-16 and set the transmit delay value on Router A to 2 seconds.

Router A interface Loopback0 ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 ! interface Serial0/1 bandwidth 64 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252 ip ospf transmit-delay 2 clockrate 64000 ! router ospf 1 network 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1 network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 ____________________________________________________________________________ Router B interface Loopback0 ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 ! interface Serial0 ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.252 bandwidth 64 ! router ospf 1 network 2.2.2.2 0.0.0.0 area 2 network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

Verification

Verify that the transmit delay value has been modified, that the OSPF neighbor relationship is active, and that all OSPF routes are being exchanged.

Troubleshooting

Step 1. Verify that there is a neighbor relationship between the OSPF routers by using the show ip ospf neighbor command.

Step 2. Verify that the desired transmit delay value has been configured by using the OSPF interface command ip ospf transmit-delay.
