Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Description
Enable periodic reoptimization of an LSP that is already set up. If topology changes occur, an existing path might become suboptimal, and a subsequent recomputation might be able to determine a better path. This option is useful only on LSPs for which constrained-path computation is enabled; that is, for which the no-cspf statement is not configured.
To avoid extensive resource consumption that might result because of frequent path recomputations, or to avoid destabilizing the network as a result of constantly changing LSPs, we recommend that you either leave the timer value sufficiently large or disable the timer value.
Default
The optimize timer is disabled.
Options
seconds—Length of the optimize timer, in seconds.
Range: 0 through 65,535 seconds
Default: 0 seconds (the optimize timer is disabled)
Required Privilege Level
routing—To view this statement in the configuration.
routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
