Specifying the IS-IS hello multiplier
The hello multiplier is the number of hello packets a neighbor must miss before it declares that the router is down.
If a neighbor receives no hello packets from the router within the advertised hold time, it considers the router down and recalculates the routes. The hold time is the hello multiplier multiplied by the hello interval.
On a broadcast link, Level-1 and Level-2 hello packets are advertised separately. You must set a hello multiplier for each level.
On a P2P link, Level-1 and Level-2 hello packets are advertised in P2P hello packets. You do not need to specify Level-1 or Level-2.
