Deployment Guide
isis (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword isis to specify that IS-IS routes are distributed.
rip (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword rip to specify that RIP routes are distributed.
static (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword static to specify that only manually congured routes
are distributed.
Defaults Not congured.
Command Modes ROUTER OSPF
Supported Modes Full—Switch
Command History
Version Description heading
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information The distribute-list out command applies to routes autonomous system boundary routers (ASBRs)
redistributes into OSPF. It can be applied to external type 2 and external type 1 routes, but not to intra-area and
inter-area routes.
fast-convergence
This command sets the minimum LSA origination and arrival times to zero (0), allowing more rapid route computation so that convergence
takes less time.
Syntax
fast-convergence {number}
To cancel fast-convergence, use the no fast convergence command.
Parameters
number Enter the convergence level desired. The higher this parameter is set, the faster OSPF
converge takes place. The range is from 1 to 4.
Defaults none.
Command Modes ROUTER OSPF

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
The higher this parameter is set, the faster OSPF converge takes place.
NOTE: The faster the convergence, the more frequent the route calculations and updates. This
behavior impacts CPU utilization and may impact adjacency stability in larger topologies.
Generally, convergence level 1 meets most convergence requirements. Higher convergence levels should only be
selected following consultation with Dell Networking technical support.
