For OSPFv2 routers to establish a neighbor adjacency, they must have matching Hello and Dead intervals. These timers control the sending of Hello packets and the detection of neighbor failures. If the timers do not match, the routers will not recognize each other as neighbors. The process ID and router priority are locally significant and do not need to match between routers.
