Setting the Holddown Timer
The holddown timer controls how often OSPF calculates a route. Its purpose is to
free up the CPU. A value of 0 means there is no holddown time.
By default, the holddown timer is set to 1 second. You can use the BCC or Site
Manager to specify a different value.
Using the BCC
To set the holddown timer value, navigate to the global OSPF prompt (for
example,
box; ip; ospf
) and enter:
holddown
<value>
value
is 0 (no holddown time) or the holddown time in seconds.
For example, the following command specifies 5 seconds as the OSPF holddown
time:
ospf#
holddown 5
ospf#
