Configuring Dead Time Intervals

• An error is reported at the command prompt if the configured dead time interval is less than the hello
• During a software upgrade, ensure that the fspf dead-interval is greater than the ISSU downtime (80
Service "fspf" returned error: Dead interval for interface is less than ISSU upgrade time.
Configuring Dead Time Intervals
To configure the FSPF dead time interval, follow these steps:
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# interface fc1/4
switch(config-if)#
Configures the specified interface, or if already configured, enters configuration mode for the specified interface.
Step 3
switch(config-if)# fspf dead-interval 25 vsan 7
switch(config-if)#
Specifies the maximum interval for VSAN 7 before which a hello message must be received on the selected interface
before the neighbor is considered lost. The default is 80 seconds.

About Retransmitting Intervals

You can specify the time after which an unacknowledged link state update should be transmitted on the
interface. The integer value to specify retransmit intervals can range from 1 to 65,535 seconds.
Note This value must be the same on the switches on both ends of the interface.
