timers spf (OSPFv3)
Enables shortest path rst (SPF) throttling to delay an SPF calculation when a topology change occurs.
Syntax
timers spf [start-time [hold-time [max-wait]]]
Parameters
• start-time — Sets the initial SPF delay in milliseconds (1 to 600000; default 1000).
• hold-time — Sets the additional hold time between two SPF calculations in milliseconds (1 to 600000;
default 10000).
• max-wait — Sets the maximum wait time between two SPF calculations in milliseconds (1 to 600000;
default 10000).
Default
• start-time — 1000 milliseconds
• hold-time — 10000 milliseconds
• max-wait — 10000 milliseconds
Command Mode ROUTER-OSPFv3
Usage Information OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 support SPF throttling. By default, SPF timers are disabled in an OSPF instance.
Use SPF throttling to delay SPF calculations during periods of network instability. In an OSPF network, a topology
change event triggers an SPF calculation after a specied start time. When the start timer nishes, a hold time
may delay the next SPF calculation for an additional time. When the hold timer is running:
• Each time a topology change occurs, the SPF calculation is delayed for double the congured hold time up to
maximum wait time.
• If no topology change occurs, an SPF calculation is performed and the hold timer is reset to its congured
value.
If you do not specify a start-time, hold-time or max-wait value, the default values are used. The no version of this
command removes the congured SPF timers and disables SPF throttling in an OSPF instance.

Object tracking manager
Object tracking manager (OTM) allows you to track the link status of Layer 2 interfaces, and the reachability of IP and IPv6 hosts. You can
increase the availability of the network and shorten recovery time if an object state goes Down.
Object tracking monitors the status of tracked objects and communicates any changes made to interested client applications. OTM client
applications are VRRP and PBR. Each tracked object has a unique identifying number that clients use to congure the action to take when
