sorry, that should read 1/3 of the config's hello interval. I set mine on
both sides to 45 secs.

The DIS (rtr2) sends hellos every 1/2 iof the configured hello-interval. I
just checked this out.

so when you look at the hold times using the "show clns nei" command it's a
bit mis-leading, if they asked you to config this in the lab so i think is
quite important that you guys have explained this very well :)

Also, how do you know (via command line commands) which is the DIS. I
assume it's highest IP but can you see this in IOS?

Many thx, and a very interesting subject :))

Jonathan,
--------------------
From the above information, I would guess that the DIS (designated
intermediate system) ignores the "isis hello-interval" command and sends
at 3.3 seconds (plus or minus 25% jitter) regardless
---------------------
did you check this out?
what i found is DIS sends hellos with an interval (1/3 of what you have
configured as hello-interval)-the jitter...

Ozgur

This is interesting behavior. Does anyone know of a mention in a
specification that would legitimize these findings? (Is Cisco following
spec?)
