ospfVirtIfRetransInterval

Module: RFC1248-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1248-MIB::ospfVirtIfRetransInterval

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.9.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: UpToMaxAge

Access: read-write

Description: The number of seconds between link-state advertisement retransmissions, for adjacencies belonging to this interface. This value is also used when retransmitting database description and link-state request packets. This value should be well over the expected round-trip time.

What is ospfVirtIfRetransInterval?

This sets the number of seconds between link-state advertisement retransmissions for adjacencies on this virtual link, also used for retransmitting database description and link-state request packets, defaulting to 5 seconds. Admins increase this on a virtual link with a longer round-trip time than the default assumes, to avoid needlessly re-sending packets that are simply still in flight.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.9.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfVirtIfRetransInterval

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.9.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1248-MIB::ospfVirtIfRetransInterval.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.13.9.1.4.1 s <value>
