EIGRP Times

How often does the hello protocol get sent in a EIGRP network?

is is the same as OSPF? which is 10 secconds on ethernet and 30 secconds on serial?

ip hello-interval eigrp
To configure the hello interval for the EIGRP routing process designated by an autonomous system number, use the ip hello-interval eigrp command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip hello-interval eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds

no ip hello-interval eigrp autonomous-system-number seconds

Syntax Description
autonomous-system-number
Autonomous system number.

seconds
Hello interval, in seconds.




Defaults
For low-speed, NBMA networks: 60 seconds

For all other networks: 5 seconds

Command Modes
Interface configuration

Command History
Release Modification
10.0
This command was introduced.




Usage Guidelines
The default of 60 seconds applies only to low-speed, nonbroadcast, multiaccess (NBMA) media. Low speed is considered to be a rate of T1 or slower, as specified with the bandwidth interface configuration command. Note that for the purposes of EIGRP, Frame Relay and SMDS networks may or may not be considered to be NBMA. These networks are considered NBMA if the interface has not been configured to use physical multicasting; otherwise, they are considered not to be NBMA.

Would of been much simpler to state the times.

thanks for that!
