configure interface tengigabitethernet * isis hello-multiplier
Purpose
Configures the number of IS-IS hello packets a neighbor must miss before the router declares the neighbor down on the specified
interface. This determines how quickly a failed neighbor is detected so that routes can be recalculated.
Default Access Level
15
Command Syntax
configure interface tengigabitethernet <slot>/<port>[.<0-254>] isis hello-multiplier <multiplier>
[<level1 | level2>]
configure interface tengigabitethernet <slot>/<port>[.<0-254>] isis hello-multiplier [<multiplier>]
[<level1 | level2>] no
Supplemental
Information
The advertised hold time in IS-IS hello packets will be set to the hello multiplier times the hello interval. Neighbors will declare an
adjacency to this router down after not having received any IS-IS hello packets during the advertised hold time. The hold time can be
set on a per-interface basis and can be different between different routers in one area.
Note: Using a smaller hello multiplier will give fast convergence, but can result in more routing instability. Incrementing the hello
multiplier to a larger value will help stabilize the network. Never configure a hello multiplier lower than the default value of 3.
To restore the default value, use the no option.
Parameters
<slot>/<port>[.<0-
254>]
RCM slot number/tengigabitEthernet port number[.subinterface number].
Valid range for the C4 CMTS is <17-18>/<10>[.<0-254>]
Valid range for the C4c CMTS is <17>/<10>[.<0-254>]
<multiplier>
This is an integer value from 2 to 100. The advertised hold time in IS-IS hello packets will be set to the hello multiplier times the hello
interval. Neighbors will declare an adjacency to this router down after not having received any IS-IS hello packets during the
advertised hold time. The default value is 3
[<level1 | level2>]
Specifies the type of adjacencies to be formed on this interface. If no value is specified, then modify value for both level-1 and level-
2.
