Configure Parameters for Locally Sourced Packets
In global configuration mode, configure parameters for packets origi-
nated by a specified router:
zSpecify in seconds the initial life time for locally generated pack-
ets.
clns packet-lifetime seconds
zSpecify whether to request ERPDUs on packets originated by the
router.
clns want-erpdu
You should set the packet lifetime low in an internetwork that has fre-
quent loops.
Warning: The clns want-erpdu global configuration command
has no effect on routing packets (ES-IS, IS O IGRP, and
ISIS) originated by the router; it applies to pings and trac-
eroute packets.
Example: Performance Parameters
This example shows how to set ES hello packet and IS hell o packet pa-
rameters in a simple ISO IGRP configuratio n, as well as the MTU for
a serial interface:
router iso-igrp xavier
net 49.0001.004d.0002.0000.0C00.0506.00
1. Send IS/ES hellos every 45 seconds:
clns configuration-time 45
2. Recipients of the hello packets keep information in the hellos for
2 minutes:
clns holding-time 120
3. Specify an mtu of 978 bytes; gener a l l y, do not alter the default:
mtu value interface serial 2
clns mtu 978
