About Hello Time Intervals

You can set the FSPF Hello time interval to specify the interval between the periodic hello messages sent
to verify the health of the link. The integer value can range from 1 to 65,535 seconds.
Note This value must be the same in the ports at both ends of the ISL.

Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc1/4
switch(config-if)#
Step 3

switch(config-if)#

About Dead Time Intervals

You can set the FSPF dead time interval to specify the maximum interval for which a hello message must
be received before the neighbor is considered lost and removed from the database. The integer value can
range from 1 to 65,535 seconds.
This value must be the same in the ports at both ends of the ISL.
