CL: this was one of the old standbt trick questions in various study materials. How to change hello without changing hello, or the flip side, how to change dead without changing dead. CL tested this and on 12.1.5T10 changing hello no longer changes dead, and changing dead no longer changes hello. Resetting the OSPF process does not result in changes to either parameter.
