This command sets the interval between two consecutive hello transmissions.
| vlan all | Applies the timer configuration to all IS-IS VLANs. |
| vlan_name | Specifies a single VLAN to which the timer configuration applies. |
| seconds | Sets the timer interval. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds. |
| minimal | Specifies that the hello interval is calculated by dividing 1 second by the hello multiplier. |
| level [1 | 2] | Limits the configuration to either level 1 or level 2. If neither level 1 nor level 2 is specified, the configuration applies to both levels. |
10 seconds.
If this router is the elected DIS, hellos are sent three times more frequently than the configured interval.
When the timer configuration is set to minimal, the holding time included in the PDU is set to 1 second. Otherwise, the holding time is computed by multiplying the hello interval by the hello multiplier. The holding time tells the neighboring router how long to wait before declaring the sending router dead.
The following command sets the hello interval timer for all VLANs to 15 seconds:
configure isis vlan all timer hello-interval 15
