isis hello-interval


Configures the number of seconds between transmission of hello packets for an interface.

Syntax: isis hello-interval seconds [milliseconds] [level-1 | level-2]

no isis hello-interval

seconds

Number of seconds between transmission of hello packets. Valid values are between 1 and 65535 seconds.

milliseconds

Changes the value entered as seconds to milliseconds.

level-l

Configures the hello interval for Level 1. If you do not specify a level, the default is Level 1

level-2

Configures the hello interval for Level 2.

Description: IS-IS uses hello packets to establish and maintain connections to neighbors. The hello interval is the number of seconds between transmission of hello packets from this interface. Smaller hello intervals enable faster response to changes in the network, but increase the amount of control traffic.

Use the isis hello-interval seconds level-1 command to configure the number of seconds between transmission of hello packets on this interface for Level-1 adjacencies.

Use the isis hello-interval seconds level-2 command to configure the number of seconds between transmission of hello packets on this interface for Level-2 adjacencies.

Use the no isis hello-interval command to configure the number of seconds between transmission of hello packets to the default value of 10 seconds.

Factory Default: 10 seconds.

Command Mode: Interface configuration.

Example 1: In the following example:

router(config)#router isis 1

router(config-router)#net 40.0001.0000.0000.0001.00

router(config-router)#interface pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#ip router isis 1

router(config-if)#isis hello-interval 3

router(config-if)#end

router#show run int

Example 2: In the following example, the isis hello-interval seconds milliseconds configures interface 1/1/1 to advertise hello packets every 250 milliseconds:

router(config)#router isis 1

router(config-router)#net 40.0001.0000.0000.0001.00

router(config-router)#interface pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#ip router isis 1

router(config-if)#isis hello-interval 250 milliseconds
