FSPF Interface Configuration
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.
Note
This value must be the same in the ports at both ends of the ISL.
Caution
An error is reported at the command prompt if the configured dead time interval is less than the hello
time interval.

About Retransmitting Intervals
You can specify the time after which an unacknowledged link state update should be transmitted on the
interface. The integer value to specify retransmit intervals can range from 1 to 65,535 seconds.
Note
This value must be the same on the switches on both ends of the interface.
