OSPF timers consist of what? and what is the timing relationship?

the answer is found by looking at the topics listed on this page:

shoulds like you're trying to answer a trick question on a test? I suppose
"The Long and Winding Road" wanted you to work for your answer, but I'll
come out and tell you.

ospf defaults the dead-interval/hold-time as a multiple of the hello time,
so if you change the hello time the dead interval changes automatically
also.

Why did you come out and tell the original poster the answer? Wouldn't the
poster learn more from working it out? I liked "The L&W Road's" answer much
better. :-)

Wouldn't the poster be a better representative of the relevant certification
having worked it out? For example, if the poster is going for CCNP and
manages to pass because people provided answers instead of methods for
figuring out the answer, is that a good thing for the rest of us who wish
CCNP to be a respected certification?

The poster asked for suggestions, not answers, and that's what we should
have provided.

Hopefully the poster will try this in a lab. There is at least one minor
gotcha that I can think of.

Hey, you had to expect to get slammed for this! ;-) I'm doing this with all
due respect and a recognition of how fun it is to give an answer. I think a
lot of us participate on the list partly to give answers because it's fun
and a nice ego stroke, myself included. But the real goal of Group Study is
to help people learn.

good point, I'm new to the forum and wasn't quite sure of what approaches to
answers people expected. I do like his approach to answering it, because if
you look at the link, the answer is in there (with the use of some deductive
logic).

the only thing that worries me though, is that if people never get a
straight answer, will they then stop asking questions? its nice to see an
open forum about cisco networking thats actually well populated, I'd like to
support it as much as I can.

There are a couple of ways to look at this.

give someone a fish, or teach them how to fish?

what level of expertise is the person asking the question?

The question itself - how to change one ospf timer without using the
timer-specific command - is a standard trick question for a lot of CCIE
practice labs. It's not generally the kind of thing that comes up in the
CCNA qualification exam.

Making the assumption that someone is prepping for the CCIE Lab, should they
be expecting specific answers to specific questions? Or should they be
spending a bit more time acquiring the expertise that is going to be tested
in the Lab?

Maybe there are CCNP practice labs out there that ask these kinds of
questions as well? Maybe the guy asking the question is a newly minted CCNA
and is starting his road to CCNP? Sure, ask the question.

My own opinion, and my own advice to anyone who dreams of attaining the
CCIE, is to start early and often - get into the habit of looking things up
in the documentation first. Knowing your way around the doc CD or the Cisco
CCO doc pages is a skill that will serve you well in a lot of different
places, including the CCIE Lab itself.

Welcome to Group Study. Nobody ever gets a straight answer here! ;-) And
usually they shouldn't. With the exception of the ones and zeros that go
across the wire (or air), most other things in this industry are simply not
black-and-white. Just wait till the next time someone asks what a L3 switch
is or what layer ARP runs at! :-)

CiscoPress book for CCNP routing is very specific on changing hello setting
and having dead/interval setting changing automatically.  I would have given
the answer and said where I found it. What some people are suggesting is
that when anybody posts a question the answer should be, "buy my book". If
people do not to want help other people out, or at least point them in the

just like the documentation.

a couple of IOS releases ago, the trick question used to be, how do you
change the hello timer without using the ip ospf hello command. but alas, in
the more current IOS releases, changing the dead timer does not
automatically change the hello, rendering a number of CCIE practice labs
obsolete.

good question. seriously.

let's look at it another way

"Tell me the answer" or "I was reading this book, or doing this practice lab
and this point came up. I re-read the materials but I'm missing it. Where
can I find the answer?"

that's why I posted the link to the page on CCO where the appropriate
comands are found. it is also why I suggested that a good habit to get into
is to use the doc page first.

in real life its hard for me to keep my mouth shut, so even if I intend to
be elusive in answers from now on, I'll probably just shoot my mouth off
here too and just give the answer.

The original question was how to change the dead interval without using the
dead-interval command. It tests your knowledge of one aspect of the OSPF
protocol, rather than your practical knowledge of OSPF configuration.

One more technical comment below.

Notice that the hello didn't change. That's new. Older versions of IOS used
to change the hello if you changed the dead. Newer ones don't, although they
do change the dead if you change the hello.

By the way, in the real world, you would want to change the neighbors too.
They will fail to become adjacent if they don't agree on these timers, if
I'm not mistaken.

This thread has exceeded its dead interval, I think! ;-)
