Changing the hello interval for an IS-IS interface

The hello interval specifies how often an IS-IS interface sends hello messages to its IS-IS neighbors. The following task changes the hello interval for Level 1 packets to 20 for an IS-IS interface.

Procedure

  1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the interface ethernet command and specify an interface.
    device(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
    
  3. Enter the isis hello-interval command with the level-1 parameter, and specify a value, to change the hello interval for Level 1 packets for the interface.
    device(conf-if-eth-1/2)# isis hello-interval level-1 20
    

Example

The following example changes the hello interval for Level 1 packets to 20 on a Loopback interface.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
device(conf-if-eth-1/2)# isis hello-interval level-1 20
