User Guidelines
This value is advertised in the hello packets. The smaller the hello interval, the faster
topological changes are detected, resulting in extra routing traffic. This value must be the
same for all routers and access servers on a specific network.
Example
The following example defines the hello-time of 100 seconds on IP interface 1.100.100.100.
Console(config)# interface ip 1.100.100.100
Console(config-ip)# ospf hello-interval 100
