To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Specify the interval for sending
hello packets

isis timer hello seconds [ level-1 |
level-2 ]

Optional
10 seconds by default

Specify the interval for sending

CSNP packets on the DIS of a
broadcast network

isis timer csnp seconds [ level-1 |

level-2 ]

Optional
10 seconds by default

NOTE:

The interval between hello packets sent by the DIS is 1/3 the hello interval set with the isis timer hello
command.

Specifying the IS-IS hello multiplier

If a neighbor receives no hello packets from the router within the advertised hold time, it considers the

router down and recalculates the routes. The hold time is the hello multiplier multiplied by the hello

interval.
Follow these steps to specify the IS-IS hello multiplier:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Specify the number of hello packets a

neighbor must miss before declaring the
router is down

isis timer holding-multiplier value

[ level-1 | level-2 ]

Optional
3 by default

NOTE:

On a broadcast link, Level-1 and Level-2 hello packets are advertised separately; therefore, you need to
set a hello multiplier for each level. On a P2P link, Level-1 and Level-2 hello packets are advertised in P2P

hello packets, so you do not need to specify Level-1 or Level-2.

Configuring a DIS priority for an interface

On an IS-IS broadcast network, you must elect a router as the DIS at a routing level. You can specify a

DIS priority at a level for an interface. The greater the interface’s priority, the more likely it becomes the

DIS. If multiple routers in the broadcast network have the same highest DIS priority, the router with the

highest MAC address becomes the DIS.
Follow these steps to specify a DIS priority for an interface:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Specify a DIS priority for the
interface

isis dis-priority value [ level-1 |
level-2 ]

Optional
64 by default
