tunning ospf dr/bdr eletction time

[CATYO]

Hello. 

I just want to know how to reduce ospf adjacency time. 

When broadcast mode, it takes long time to elect DR/BDR when routers are in 2way state. 

Is there any way to pass quickly this state?

Thank you : )

If there are just two neighbors, you could set their OSPF mode to point-to-point.  Then they will establish adjacency much faster.

no way to reduce in broadcast mode? it is broadcast multi-access topology.

This for initial adjacency setup, right?  If so, not that I'm aware of (without changing the OSPF mode).

Hi,

You can configure DR priority 0 on DRother routers, so that they will not participate in DR/BDR election. It may help to speed up the DR/BDR election

What you can try doing is setting the dead interval command to a number smaller than the default. This will cause faster convergence in an ospf network.

The link provided below documents how to change the dead interval on an interface.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/fasthelo.html

Router(config-if)# ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier 5

This interface subcommand will set the dead-interval to the minimal amount and the hello-multiplier 5 will make it so 5 packets are sent every second
