inter-area <distance> represents the administrative distance number from 1
to 255 for all routes from one area to another area.
external <distance> represents the administrative distance number from 1 to
255 for routes learned by redistribution from other routing domains.
Configuring Route Calculation Timers
Timers are used by routing protocols to determine time intervals for when route
information is adjusted:
Use the timers spf command in Router Configuration mode to configure the delay
time after OSPF receives a topology change until it starts a shortest path first (SPF)
calculation and hold time between two consecutive SPF calculations, as shown in the
following example:
MOT(config-ospf)#timers spf <spf-delay> <spf-holdtime>
where:
spf-delay is the time delay from 0 to 65535 seconds between receiving a change
to the SPF calculation.
spf-holdtime is the hold-time from 0 to 65535 seconds between consecutive SPF
calculations.
Configuring OSPF on an Interface
The following sections are used to configure interface-specific parameters for OSPF
and how to set up OSPF on a passive or loopback interface:
• Configuring General OSPF Interface Parameters
• Blocking OSPF LSA Flooding
• Configuring a Passive Interface for OSPF
• Forcing Router ID Choice with Loopback Interface
