Hello Interval (1-65535) — Time (seconds) between Hello packets. All devices attached to a
common network must have the same Hello interval. The default is 10 seconds.
Retransmit Interval (0-3600) — Time (seconds) between link-state advertisement (LSA)
retransmissions for adjacencies belonging to the interface. The value must be greater than the
expected round-trip delay between any two routers on the attached network. The default is 5
seconds.
Transmit Delay(0-3600) — Estimated time (seconds) required to send a link-state update packet
on the interface. LSAs in the update packet have their age incremented by this amount before
transmission. The default value is 1 second.
Dead Interval (0-2147483647) — Time (seconds) router Hello packets have not been detected,
and the router times out. The value must be a multiple of the Hello Interval value. All routers
attached to a common network must have a value specified for this parameter. The default is 60
seconds.
