Setting the Dead Interval
The dead interval is the number of seconds that OSPF waits to receive a Hello
packet from a neighbor before considering the neighbor to be down. The dead
interval value should be some multiple of the Hello interval value.
Each type of network has an optimum dead interval. If the interface is connected
to a broadcast network, you should use the default setting -- 40 seconds. Table 6-5
lists the suggested settings for network types supported by OSPF.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify a dead interval.
Using the BCC
To set a dead interval, navigate to an OSPF interface prompt (for example,
box;
eth 2/2; ip/2.2.2.2/255.255.0.0; ospf
) and enter:
dead-interval
<
interval>
interval
is the dead interval expressed in seconds.
For example, the following command causes OSPF to wait 60 seconds on IP
interface 2.2.2.2 for a Hello message before declaring the neighbor down:
ospf/2.2.2.2#
dead-interval 60
ospf/2.2.2.2#
Table 6-5. Dead Interval Settings
Network Type Suggested Dead Interval (seconds)

Note:
This value must be the same for all routers attached to the same
network.
