Parameter 
seconds: Specifies the Hello interval, ranging from 3 to 255 and measured in seconds. 
The default value is 10 seconds.  
level-1: Specifies the Level-1 Hello interval.  
level-2: Specifies the Level-2 Hello interval.  
If no level is not specified, the Hello interval is set to Level-1-2, that is, both Level-1 and 
Level-2 take effect.  
Description 
Use the isis timer hello command to configure the interval of sending Hello packet of 
the corresponding level. 
Use the undo isis timer hello command to restore the default value.  
On a broadcast link, level-1 and level-2 Hello packets will be sent respectively and their 
intervals should also be set respectively. Such settings are unnecessary on 
point-to-point links. The shorter the sending interval is, the more system resources are 
occupied to send Hello packets. Therefore, the interval should not be too short and 
should be set according to actual conditions. 
Related command: isis timer holding-multiplier. 
Example 
# Set the Hello packet of Level-2 to be transmitted every 20 seconds on Interface 
Vlan-interface 10. 
[Quidway] interface Vlan-interface 10 
[Quidway-Vlan-interface10] isis timer hello 20 level-2
