Figure 44-9 Router Rejects Nonpruning DVMRP Neighbor
Note that the ip dvmrp reject-non-pruners interface configuration command prevents peering with
neighbors only. If there are any nonpruning routers multiple hops away (downstream toward potential
receivers) that are not rejected, a nonpruning DVMRP network might still exist.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to prevent peering with nonpruning DVMRP
neighbors. This procedure is optional.
To disable this function, use the no ip dvmrp reject-non-pruners interface configuration command.
Controlling Route Exchanges
