Usage The hello interval command is the interval at which ring frames are generated from the
Information
primary interface of the master node. The dead interval command is the time that
elapses before a time-out occurs.
Enter the keyword hello-interval followed by the time, in
milliseconds, to set the hello interval of the control packets. The
milliseconds must be entered in increments of 50 millisecond; for
example, 50, 100, 150 and so on. If an invalid value is entered, an error
message is generated. Range: 50 to 2000 ms. Default: 500 ms.
Enter the keyword dead-interval followed by the time, in
milliseconds, to set the dead interval of the control packets. Range: 50
to 6000 ms. Default: 1500 ms.
NOTE: The configured dead interval must be at least three times
the hello interval.
• 500 ms for hello-interval milliseconds
• 1500 ms for dead-intervalmilliseconds
