Configuring the link status polling interval

HDLC can regularly check link status. The link status polling interval is user configurable. It is a good practice to set the same interval for the two ends of a link. Setting the link status polling interval to 0 disables link status check. If the network has a long delay or is experiencing congestion, you can increase the polling interval to avoid network flappings.
