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