<update>

Rate, in seconds, updates are sent. This is the fundamental

 

 

timing parameter of the routing protocol. The valid range is 10 to

 

 

50 seconds. The default setting is 30 seconds.

 

 

 

 

<invalid>

Interval of time, in seconds, after which a route is declared

 

 

invalid. This value should be at least three times the value of

 

 

update. The valid range is 1 to 65,535 seconds. The default

 

 

setting is 120 seconds.

 

 

A route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that

 

 

refresh the route. The route then enters holddown. The route is

 

 

marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However,

 

 

the route is still used for forwarding packets.

 

 

 

Sample Output

The following example sets the update value to 60 seconds.

 

(configure router:rip)# timers basic 60 120

Systems
