Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
config dvmrp
Purpose
Used to configure DVMRP on the Switch.
Syntax
config dvmrp [ipif <ipif_name 12> | all] {metric <value 1-31>
| probe <sec 1-65535> | neighbor_timeout <sec 1-65535> |
state [enable | disable]}
Description
This command is used to configure DVMRP on the Switch.
Parameters
ipif <ipif_name 12>
−
The name of the IP interface for which
DVMRP is to be configured.
all
−
Specifies that DVMRP is to be configured for all IP
interfaces on the Switch.
metric <value 1-31>
−
Allows the assignment of a DVMRP route
cost to the above IP interface. A 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 is 1.
probe <second 1-65535>
−
DVMRP defined an extension to
IGMP that allows routers to query other routers to determine if a
DVMRP neighbor is present on a given subnetwork or not. This
is referred to as a ‘probe’. This entry will set an intermittent
probe (in seconds) on the device that will transmit dvmrp
messages, depending on the time specified. This probe is also
used to “keep alive” the connection between DVMRP enabled
devices. The default value is 10 seconds.
neighbor_timeout <second 1-65535>
−
The time period for
which DVMRP will hold Neighbor Router reports before issuing
poison route messages. The default value is 35 seconds.
