Table 410 Configure RIP updating period
Operation
Configure RIP updating period
Restore default value of RIP updating period
By default, the time interval for RIP updating period is adjusted to be 60
seconds.
c Configure aging period of IPX RIP
Perform the following task in system view.
Table 411 Configure RIP aging period
Operation
Adjust RIP aging period
Restore default value of RIP aging period
By default, the aging period of a routing table item is 3 times that of RIP
updating period. In other words, if a routing table item is not updated after 3
RIP updating periods, it will be deleted from the table, so will the
corresponding dynamic service information table item be deleted from the
server information table.
d Configure the maximum size of RIP update packet
Perform the following task in interface view.
Table 412 Configure the maximum size of RIP update packet
Operation
Configure the maximum size of RIP update packet
Restore default value of RIP updated packet size
By default, the maximum size of the RIP update packet is 432 bytes.
e Configure the maximum number of IPX parallel route
Usually, there is more than one best route to the same destination, which are
called parallel routes. When the number of parallel route (N) configured
exceeds 1, the system will implement load-sharing function automatically.
Reuse multiple paths to send data.
Configuring parallel routes can decrease the possibility of congestion, but
occupy relatively large memory. Parallel routes are not recommended when the
memory is not abundant, however, to configure parallel routes can reduce the
probability of blockage.
Perform the following task in system view.
Table 413 Configure the maximum number of IPX parallel route
Operation
Configure the maximum number of IPX parallel route
Restore the maximum number of IPX parallel route to
default
By default, there is one parallel route to a destination.
f Configure length of route reserve queue
