Tony,
A colleague recently encountered this and received the information below
from Cisco.
Regards

The command "ip ospf interface-retry 0" is classed as a bug, DDTS number
CSCdp64394 refers.
It should be a hidden command but has been unhidden due to a non default
setting being coded in. As you can see the default should be "10" this is
fixed in 12.0(9.1)
Customers running OSPF and upgrading to 12.0(8)S will notice the "ip ospf
interface-retry 0" is automatically added to every interface. This can
cause some problems (like interface state being Up, but OSPF state being
Down) in high end routers, with a lot of interfaces.
Workaround:
Configure "ip ospf interface-retry 10" on all interfaces. This will get
nvgen'ed. And is a more appropriate value for this functionality.
Snip from DE
The motivation for this command is a timing problem where ospf
fails to determine the state of an interface. The solution was for
ospf to poll the interface for a while to verify its state. The
hidden command that the customer discovered allows us to lengthen
the polling period on routers that have a large number of interfaces.
The polls occur every 10 seconds and the command controls the number
of polls that will be done. With the setting of 0 retries that is
being nvgened, there will be no extra polling. Chances are this
will not cause any problems for the customer.

Subject: ip ospf interface-retry 0 (What is this???)
Good People:
I am starting to play with 12.0 (9) in my lab and am doing some ospf labs.
This line seems to creep into my config under the interfaces and I have no
idea what it is. I have looked in the latest Doc. CD and CCO with no luck.
When I do a reload I get errors that the It doesn't understand the syntax of
the command. In other words, The router doesn't like its own defaults!!!!!
This is really weird. If anybody could shed some light I would appreciate
it.
Thanks in advance.
