Figure 5- 53. DVMRP Interface Settings window - Modify
Configure DVMRP settings for each IP interface and click on the
Apply
button to apply the new or changed settings. The
new values will appear in the DVMRP Interface Settings table in the previous window. To view the table click
Show All
DVMRP Interface Entries.
NOTE:
Due to a switch limitation, DVMRP cannot function for
Secondary IP interfaces, although the DVMRP settings for the
Secondary IP Interface will be displayed. For more information
regarding configuring Primary and Secondary IP Interfaces, see the
IP Interface Settings and IP Multinetting
section earlier in this
section.
The table below describes the parameters necessary for DVMRP configuration.
Configure these settings for each DVMRP interface:
Parameter Description
Interface Name
Displays the name of the IP interface for which DVMRP is to be configured. This must
be a previously defined IP interface.
IP Address
Displays the IP address corresponding to the IP Interface name entered above.
Neighbor Timeout
Interval (1-65535)
This field allows an entry between
1
and
65,535
seconds and defines the time period
DVMRP will hold Neighbor Router reports before issuing poison route messages. The
default is
35
seconds
.
Probe Interval (1-
65535)
This field allows an entry between
1
and
65,535
seconds and defines the interval
between ‘probes’. The default is
10
.
Metric (1-31)
This field allows an entry between
1
and
31
and defines the route cost for the IP
interface. The DVMRP route cost is a relative number that represents the real cost of
using this route in the construction of a multicast delivery tree. It is similar to, but not
defined as, the hop count in RIP. The default cost is
1
.
State
This field can be toggled between
Enabled
and
Disabled
and enables or disables
DVMRP for the IP interface. The default is
Disabled
.
