Configuring the dead interval for an interface 
After two switches establish a neighbor relationship, they send hello packets at the hello interval to each 
other to maintain the neighbor relationship. The dead interval specifies the interval during which at least 
one hello packet must be received from a neighbor before the neighbor is considered nonexistent and 
removed. 
 
  NOTE: 
The configured dead interval must be greater than the hello interval and must be the same at the two ends
of the link. 
 
To configure the dead interval for an interface:

2.  Enter FC interface, FC 
aggregate interface, or VFC 
interface view.

3.  Configure the dead interval for 
the interface in a specific VSAN.

The default setting is 80 seconds. 
 
Configuring the LSR retransmission interval for an interface 
The LSR retransmission interval specifies the time to wait for an LSR acknowledgment from the neighbor 
before retransmitting the LSR.

Disabling FSPF for an interface 
With FSPF enabled, an interface can participate in SPF calculation. To avoid SPF calculations on an 
interface, disable FSPF on the interface.
