Specifying the LSA generation interval

You can adjust the LSA generation interval to protect network resources and routers from being over consumed by frequent network changes.

When network changes are not frequent, LSAs are generated at the minimum-interval. If network changes become frequent, the LSA generation interval is incremented by incremental-interval × 2^n-² (n is the number of generation times) each time a LSA generation occurs until the maximum-interval is reached.

To configure the LSA generation interval:

Step	Command	Remarks
1. Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2. Enter OSPF view.	ospf [ process-id \| router-id router-id \| vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] *	N/A
3. Configure the LSA generation interval.	lsa-generation-interval maximum-interval [ initial-interval [ incremental-interval ] ]	Optional. By default, the maximum interval is 5 seconds, the minimum interval is 0 milliseconds, and the incremental interval is 5000 milliseconds.
