Planet Networking & Communication SGS-6340-24T4S Command Manual page 480

Parameter:
<ip-address> is the interface IP address shown in dotted decimal notation;
<time> is the interval sending HELLO packet, shown in seconds and ranging between 1～65535.
Default:
The hello-interval on the interface is 10 seconds.
Command Mode:
Interface Configuration Mode.
Usage Guide:
HELLO data packet is the most common packet which is periodically sent to adjacent layer 3 switch to discover and
maintain adjacent relationship, elect DR and BDR. The user set hello-interval value will be written into the HELLO
packet and transmitted. The less the hello-interval value is, the sooner the network topological structure is
discovered as well larger the cost. The ensure the normal operation of OSPF protocol the hello-interval parameter
between the layer 3 switches adjacent to the interface must be in accordance.
Example:
Switch#config terminal
Switch(config)#interface vlan 1
Switch(Config-if-Vlan1)#ip ospf hello-interval 20
Relevant Commands:

Command:
ip ospf [<ip-address>] message-digest-key <key_id> MD5 <LINE>
no ip ospf [<ip-address>] message-digest-key <key_id>
Function:
Specify the key id and value of MD5 authentication on the interface; the "no ip ospf [<ip-address>]
message-digest-key <key_id>"restores the default value.
