RE: RIP OSPF Timers

Rohan,

Just about OSPF. If you change a Hello/Dead timer on one router, then it
will no longer form an adjacency with any other router directly attached on
the same network.

There would be 3 ways that I know of to change the Hello/Dead timers.

1) Changing the hello time on an interface, also adjusts the Dead timer (4
x Hello) as George said.

         Router(config-if)# ip ospf hello-interval <time>

2) Changing the dead timer only affects the Dead timer.

         Router(config-if)# ip ospf dead-interval <time>

3) Changing the ospf network type for the interface sometimes uses
different default Hello/Dead timers. Broadcast & Pt-2-Pt use 10/40 and NBMA
& Pt-2-MPt use 30/120.

         Router(config-if)# ip ospf network <type>

Use the "show ip ospf interface" command to verify the hello/dead timers.

Hope this helps some,
Kirk!
