3.

Specify the interval for

sending hello packets.

isis timer hello seconds

Optional.
10 seconds by default.

4.

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 times the hello interval.
To specify the IS-IS hello multiplier:

the router is down.

Optional.
3 by default.

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.
