Interface# is the number of the interface you are con®guring.
Note: The data-link parameter cannot be changed for integrated modems.
down-notifyinterface# # of seconds
Allows the user to specify the number of seconds before declaring an
interface as being down. The normal maintenance packet interval is 3
seconds, and it takes four maintenance failures to declare the interface as
down.
The set down-notifycommand is used primarily when tunneling LLC traffic
over an IP network using OSPF. If an interface goes down, OSPF cannot
detect it fast enough because of the length of time that it takes for an
interface to be declared down. Therefore, LLC sessions would begin to
timeout. You can set the down-notify timer to a lower value, allowing OSPF
to sense that an interface is down quicker. This enables an alternate route
to be chosen more quickly, which will prevent the LLC sessions from timing
out.
Note: If the set down-notifycommand is executed on one end of a serial
	link, the same command must be performed at the other end of the
	link or the link may not come up and stay up.
	Interface#
	The number of the interface you are con®guring.
	# of seconds
	The down noti®cation time value that speci®es the maximum
	time that will elapse before a down interface is marked as
	such. Large values will cause the router to ignore transient
	connection problems, and smaller values will cause the
	router to react more quickly. The range of values is 1 to 300
	seconds and the default is 0, which sets the 3-second
	period. Setting the down noti®cation time to 0 will restore the
	default time for that interface.
	The list devices command will show the down noti®cation time
	setting for any interface that has the default value overridden.
global-buffers max#
Sets the maximum number of global packet buffers, which are the packet
buffers used for locally originated packets. The default is to autocon®gure
for the maximum number of buffers (up to 1000). To restore the default, set
the value to 0. To display the setting for global-buffers, use the list
con®guration command.
hostname name
Adds or changes the router name. The router name is for identi®cation only;
it does not affect any router addresses. The name must be :
