Release Information

Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.1 for the QFX Series.

Description

Configure the interval between complete sequence number PDUs (CSNPs) on a LAN interface.

If the routing device is the designated router on a LAN, IS-IS sends CSN packets every 10 seconds. If the routing device is on a point-to-point interface, it sends CSN packets every 5 seconds. To protect against link-state PDU flooding, we recommend modifying the default interval.

To modify the CSNP interval, include the csnp-interval statement.

To configure the interface not to send any CSNPs, specify the disable option.

Default

By default, IS-IS sends CSNPs periodically. If the routing device is the designated router on a LAN, IS-IS sends CSNPs every 10 seconds. If the routing device is on a point-to-point interface, it sends CSNPs every 5 seconds.

Options

disable—Do not send CSNPs on this interface.

seconds—Number of seconds between the sending of CSNPs.

Range: 1 through 65,535 seconds

Default: 10 seconds on LAN broadcast links. 5 seconds on point-to-point links.

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
