Command Line Reference Guide

Version 7.5.1.0 Introduced on the C-Series.
pre-Version
6.1.1.1
Introduced on the E-Series.
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.
S6000
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.

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.
