5.5.2 Configuring DVMRP
This section presents the commands for configuring DVMRP IP Multicast Routing Protocol. The following commands are available from global configuration mode:
Router(config)# ip dvmrp ? |
|
enable | Enable DVMRP Multicast Routing Protocol |
DVMRP graft message retransmitting interval | |
DVMRP neighbor timeout value | |
DVMRP Neighbor Probe message interval | |
DVMRP prune lifetime value in seconds | |
DVMRP report interval | |
DVMRP route discard timeout | |
DVMRP route expiration timeout | |
DVMRP route holdown time | |
Router(config)# ip dvmrp |
|
|
|
Important! Remember that a no command (i.e no ip dvmrp enable) negates a previously entered command.
Enabling DVMRP
In order to enable DVMRP protocol you must enter into the global configuration mode and then issue the following global command.
Command | Purpose |
ip dvmrp enable | Enable a DVMRP IP Multicast routing process, which |
| places you in router configuration mode. |
|
This value defines the interval of time that a DVMRP router sending a graft message will wait for a graft acknowledgment from an upstream router before
Subsequent
DVMRP must be enabled on the router for this command to be operational.
Command | Purpose |
Defines the initial period of time that a | |
| DVMRP router sending a graft message. |
| Default value: 10 seconds |
|
This value sets the neighbor timeout value, which is the period of time that a router will wait before it defines an attached DVMRP neighbor router as down.
DVMRP must be enabled on the router for this command to be operational.
Command | Purpose |
| Sets neighbor timeout value. |
| Default value: 40 seconds |
|
|
Probe-interval
This value defines how often neighbor probe messages are sent to the
A router’s probe message lists those neighbor DVMRP routers from which it has received probes.
