Configuration Guide Vol. 3


12.6.1 List of configuration commands

Configure the OSPF helper functionality of the Switch if you intend to use the OSPF restart functionality on any of its neighboring routers.

When the restart function is used, set OSPF restart time (set by graceful-restart restart-time command) to a value that exceeds the switching time required for the master switch plus LSA learning time.
