spf-interval
Specify the minimum interval between shortest path first (SPF) calculations.
Syntax
spf-interval [level-l | level-2] interval seconds [initial_wait_interval
seconds [second_wait_interval seconds]]
To restore default values, use the no spf-interval [level-l | level-2] interval
seconds [initial_wait_interval seconds [second_wait_interval seconds]]
command.
Parameters
level-l (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword level-1 to apply the configuration to Level-1
SPF calculations.
level-2 (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword level-2 to apply the configuration to Level-2
SPF calculations.
interval seconds Enter the maximum number of seconds between SPF calculations. The range is
from 0 to 120 seconds. The default is 10 seconds.
initial_wait_inter
val seconds
(OPTIONAL) Enter the initial wait time, in seconds, before running the first SPF
calculations. The range is from 0 to 120 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
second_wait_inte
rval seconds
(OPTIONAL) Enter the wait interval, in seconds, between the first and second SPF
calculations. The range is from 0 to 120 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Defaults See Parameters.
Command Modes
● ROUTER ISIS (for IPv4)
● CONFIGURATION-ROUTER-ISIS-ADDRESS-FAMILY-IPV6 (for IPv6)

Usage
Information
This command spf-interval in CONFIG-ROUTER-ISIS-AF-IPV6 mode is used for IPv6 Multi-Topology
route computation only. If using Single Topology mode, use the spf-interval command in CONFIG-
ROUTER-ISIS mode for both IPv4 and IPv6 route computations.
SPF throttling slows down the frequency at which route calculations are performed during network
instability. Even though throttling route calculations slows down network convergence, not throttling can
