Dell#timers spfSet the time interval between when the switch receives a topology change and starts a shortest path first (SPF) calculation.Syntax timers spf delay holdtime msecTo return to the default, use the no timers spf command.Parameters delay Enter a number as the delay. The range is from 0 to 2147483647. The default is 5seconds. When configured in milli seconds, 100 is the least value that is allowed to beconfigured.holdtime Enter a number as the hold time. The range is from 0 to 2147483647. The default is 10seconds. When configured in milli seconds, 200 is the least value that is allowed to beconfigured.msec Enter the keyword msec to specify the time interval value in milli seconds.NOTE: If you do not specify the msec option, the timer values are consideredas seconds.Defaults • delay = 5 seconds• holdtime = 10 secondsCommand Modes ROUTER OSPFv3 for OSPFv3 and ROUTER OSPFv2 for OSPFv2Command History This guide is platform-specific.
