area sham-link hello-interval

Use this command to configure the hello interval for an OSPF sham link.

Syntax

area area-id sham-link source-ip-address destination-ip-address hello-interval seconds
no area area-id sham-link source-ip-address destination-ip-address hello-interval

Parameters

area-id Specifies the OSPF area the two PE routers belong to.
source-ip-address Specifies the source IP address for this sham link.
destination-ip-address Specifies the destination IP address for this sham link.
seconds (Optional) Specifies the number of seconds between hello packets on an interface. Valid values range from 1 to 65535. The default value is 10 seconds.

Defaults

The hello interval defaults to 10 seconds.

Mode

VRF configuration, OSPF router configuration.

Usage

This value must be the same for all nodes attached to a network. By default, hello packets are sent out every 10 seconds. If after 40 seconds, there is no response on the interface, the interface will be shutdown.

The “no” form of this command resets the hello interval to the default value for this sham link.

Example

This example shows how to configure the hello interval to 15 seconds for a sham link between two PE routers with a source address of 172.16.1.10 and a destination address of 172.16.2.20 on OSPF router instance 10, VRF doc:
