Configuring DVMRP Timers
When a router adds or updates a route, it uses configurable timers to control the
useful life of the route.
Setting the Route Expiration Timer
The route expiration timer determines how long DVMRP waits for an update
message indicating that a route is reachable. Upon expiration of this timer, this
route is advertised as unreachable until it is refreshed or until it is garbaged.
By default, DVMRP sets the route expiration time at 200 seconds.You can use Site
Manager to set the route expiration time from 20 to 4000 seconds.
Note:
DVMRP timers must be the same throughout the network.
