Purpose
(Optional) Adjust routing protocol timers.
• update—The time (in seconds) between sending of routing updates.
The default is 90 seconds.
• invalid—The timer interval (in seconds) after which a route is declared
invalid. The default is 270 seconds.
• holddown—The time (in seconds) during which routing information
about better paths is suppressed. The default is 280 seconds.
• flush—The time (in seconds) that must pass before a route is removed
from the routing table. The default is 630 seconds.
• sleeptime—Interval in milliseconds for postponing routing updates.
The default is 0.
(Optional) Disable the IGRP hold-down period. The route to a network is
placed in holddown if the router learns that the network is farther away than
previously known or is down. Holddown keeps new routing information
from being used for a certain period of time. This can prevent routing loops
caused by slow convergence. It is sometimes advantageous to disable
holddown to increase the network's ability to quickly respond to topology
changes; this command provides this function.
Use the metric holddown command if other routers or access servers
within the IGRP autonomous system are not configured with the no metric
holddown command. If all routers are not configured the same way, you
increase the possibility of routing loops.
(Optional) Configure the maximum network diameter. Routes with hop
counts exceeding this diameter are not advertised. The default is 100 hops;
the maximum is 255 hops.
(Optional) Disable validation of the source IP address of incoming RIP
routing updates. By default, the switch validates the source IP address of
incoming RIP routing updates and discards the update if the source address
is not valid.
(Optional) Define the variance associated with a particular path to enable
unequal-cost load balancing if desired, balancing traffic across all feasible
paths to converge to a new path if a path should fail. The multiplier can be
from 1 to 128; the default is 1 (equal-cost load balancing).
(Optional) Distribute traffic by one of these methods:
• balanced—Proportionately to the ratios of metrics
• min—By the minimum-cost route.

Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
