Setting the Poll Interval for NBMA Neighbors
The poll interval is the longest time (in seconds) allowed between Hello packets
sent to an inactive nonbroadcast multi-access (NBMA) neighbor. The default poll
interval is 120 seconds.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify a poll interval.

To set a poll interval, go to an OSPF interface prompt (for example,
box; eth 2/2;
ip/2.2.2.2/255.255.0.0; ospf
) and enter:

<
interval>
interval
is the poll interval expressed in seconds (from 1 through 2,147,483,647).

interface 2.2.2.2:
ospf/2.2.2.2#
poll-interval 90
ospf/2.2.2.2#
