Re: minimum configure time of ospf hello packet intervals

Adding to what others have said..

"hello packets should be considered valid for the minimum configurable time
on vlan 30"

how long should the hello be valid for ?? till the dead interval and hence
this line of the question is asking you to configure the minimum dead
interval hence the command "ip ospf dead-interval minimal ..the multiplier
value comes from the first line of the question
