Configuring the neighbor reachable timeout time on an interface 
After a neighbor passed the reachability detection, the device considers the neighbor to be reachable in 
a specific period. However, the device will examine whether the neighbor is reachable again when there 
is a need to send packets to the neighbor after the neighbor reachable timeout time elapsed.
