SPF timers

The device uses the following timers when calculating the shortest path for OSPFv3 routes:

You can set the SPF delay and hold time to lower values to cause the device to change to alternate paths more quickly if a route fails. Note that lower values for these parameters require more CPU processing time.

You can change one or both of the timers.

Note

If you want to change only one of the timers, for example, the SPF delay timer, you must specify the new value for this timer as well as the current value of the SPF hold timer, which you want to retain. The device does not accept only one timer value.
