Modifying DVMRP Global Parameters

DVMRP global parameters come with preset values. The defaults work well in most networks, but you can modify the following global parameters if you need to:

Neighbor timeout

Route expire time

Route discard time

Prune age

Graft retransmit time

Probe interval

Report interval

Trigger interval

Default route

Modifying Neighbor Timeout

The neighbor timeout specifies the period of time that a routing switch will wait before it defines an attached DVMRP neighbor router as down. Possible values are 40 – 8000 seconds. The default value is 180 seconds.

USING THE CLI

To modify the neighbor timeout value to 100, enter the following:

HP9300(config-dvmrp-router)# nbr 100

Syntax: nbr-timeout <40-8000>

The default is 180 seconds.
