Information
The link MTU (mtu command) and the LSP MTU size must be the same
Since each device can generate a maximum of 255 LSPs, consider carefully whether the lsp-mtu
command should be configured.
lsp-refresh-interval
e
Set the link state PDU (LSP) refresh interval. LSPs must be refreshed before they expire. When the
LSPs are not refreshed after a refresh interval, they are kept in a database until their max-lsp-lifetime
reaches zero and then LSPs will be purged.
Syntax
lsp-refresh-interval seconds
To restore the default refresh interval, enter no lsp-refresh-interval.

Usage
Information
The refresh interval determines the rate at which route topology information is transmitted preventing
the information from becoming obsolete.
The refresh interval must be less than the LSP lifetime specified with the max-lsp-lifetime command.
A low value reduces the amount of time that undetected link state database corruption can persist at the
cost of increased link utilization. A higher value reduces the link utilization caused by the flooding of
refreshed packets.
