Deployment Guide

hold-interval Set the next interval to send the same LSA. This interval is the time between sending the

same LSA after the start-interval has been attempted. The range is from 1 to 600,000

milliseconds.

max-interval Set the maximum amount of time the system waits before sending the LSA. The range is

from 1 to 600,000 milliseconds.

Defaults

• start-interval: 0 msec

• hold-interval: 5000 msec

• max-interval: 5000 msec

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 LSAs are sent after the start-interval and then after hold-interval until the maximum interval is reached. In

throttling, exponential backo is used when sending same LSA, so that the interval is multiplied until the maximum

time is reached. For example, if the start-interval 5000 and hold-interval 1000 and max-interval 100,000, the LSA is

sent at 5000 msec, then 1000 msec, then 2000 msec, them 4000 until 100,000 msec is reached.

timers throttle lsa arrival

Congure the LSA acceptance intervals.

Syntax

timers throttle lsa arrival arrival-time

To return to the default, use the no timers throttle lsa command.

Parameters

arrival-time Set the interval between receiving the same LSA repeatedly, to allow sucient time for

the system to accept the LSA. The range is from 0 to 600,000 milliseconds.
