DGS-6604 m timers
CLI Reference Guide

timers
Use this command to configure the RIP network timers. To restore the default
timers use the default form of this command.
timers {update SECONDS | invalid SECONDS | flush SECONDS }
default timers {update | invalid | flush}
Default
update SECONDS : 30
invalid SECONDS : 180
flush time SECONDS : 120
Command Mode
Router configuration
Usage Guideline
The basic timing parameters for RIP are adjustable. RIP executes a distributed,
asynchronous routing algorithm, therefore these timers must be the same for all
routers and access servers in the network.
Example
The following example shows how to configure the update timer to 60 seconds:
Verify the settings by entering the show ip protocols command.
Syntax Description
update SECONDS Specifies the rate (in seconds) at which updates are sent. This is the
fundamental timing parameter of the RIP routing protocol. The default is 30
seconds. The range is 5 to 2147483647 (signed long).
invalid SECONDS Specifies the Interval of time (in seconds) after which a route is declared invalid.
It should be at least three times the value of the update argument. A route
becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that refresh the route. The
route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route
is still used for forwarding packets. The default is 180 seconds. The range is 5 to
2147483647.
flush SECONDS Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that must pass before the route is
removed from the routing table. The default is 120 seconds. The range is 5 to
2147483647.
