EES4710BD 10 Slots L2/L3/L4 Chassis Switch
Command Explanation
Interface Mode
[no] ip dvmrp enable Enable DVMRP; the “no ip dvmrp enable”
command disables DVMRP (required)
2. Configure connectivity with CISCO routers/switches
CISCO does not really implemented DVMRP, but provides connectivity with DVMRP. As CISCO
routers/switches send report packet but not probe packets, neighbor timeout issue should be
addressed in establish connectivity with CISCO routers/switches. The following command makes a
ES4710BD switch to decide the timeout of a neighbor by report packet intervals.
Command Explanation
Interface Mode
[no] ip dvmrp cisco-compatible
<A.B.C.D>
Enables connectivity with CISCO neighbor A, B,
C, D; the “no ip dvmrp cisco-compatible”
command disables connectivity with CISCO
neighbors.
3. Configure DVMRP sub-parameters
(1) Configuring DVMRP interface parameters.
a. Configure metric value for DVMRP report packet
b. Configure DVMRP neighbor timeout time
Command Explanation
Interface Mode
ip dvmrp metric <metric_val>
no ip dvmrp metric
Sets interval for sending DVMRP report packets
in the interface; the “no ip dvmrp metric”
command restores the default setting.
ip dvmrp nbr-timeout <time_val >
no ip dvmrp nbr-timeout
Sets timeout interval for DVMRP neighbors in the
interface; the “no ip dvmrp nbr-timeout”
command restores the default setting.
(2) Configuring DVMRP global parameters.
a. Configure transmission interval of graft packets in DVMRP
b. Configure transmission interval of probe packets in DVMRP
c. Configure transmission interval of report packets in DVMRP
Command Explanation
Global Mode
ip dvmrp graft-interval <time_val>
no ip dvmrp graft-interval
Sets the interval for sending DVMRP graft
messages; the “no ip dvmrp graft-interval”
command restores the default setting.
ip dvmrp probe-interval <time_val>
no ip dvmrp probe -interval
Sets the interval for sending DVMRP probe
messages; the “no ip dvmrp probe interval”
command restores the default setting.
