Parameters

seconds: Specifies the LSA retransmission interval in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds.

Usage guidelines

After sending an LSA, an interface waits for an acknowledgment packet. If the interface receives no acknowledgment within the retransmission interval, it retransmits the LSA.

To avoid unnecessary retransmissions, set an appropriate retransmission interval. For example, you can set a large retransmission interval value on a low-speed link.

Examples

# Set the LSA retransmission interval to 8 seconds on VLAN-interface 10.
