Description On the nbma and p2mp network, if a neighbor is invalid, the Hello message will be
transmitted regularly according to the poll seconds. You can configure the poll
seconds to specify how often the interface transmits Hello messages before it
establishes adjacency with the adjacent router.
You are recommended to set the poll timer longer than the hello timer.
