It is similar to, but not defined as, the hop count in RIP.
The
default cost is
1.
Note:
Route cost is a relative number that is used by
DVMRP to calculate which branches of a multicast
delivery tree should be ‘pruned’. The ‘cost’ is relative to
other costs assigned to other DVMRP routes throughout
the network.
Note:
The higher the route cost, the lower the probability
that the current route will be chosen to be an active
branch of the multicast delivery tree (not ‘pruned’) – if
there is an alternative route.
The
Probe Interval:[10 ]
field allows an entry between 1 and
65,535
seconds and defines the interval between ‘probes’.
The
default is
10.
The
State:<Disabled>
field can be toggled between
Enabled
and
Disabled
and enables or disables DVMRP for the IP
interface.
The default is
Disabled.
