Parameters
update-timer-length: Period update value, measured in seconds ranging from 1
to 3600. The default value is 30 seconds.
timeout-timer-length: Timeout value, measured in seconds ranging from 1 to
3600. The default value is 180 seconds.
Description
Using the timers command, you can modify value for the three timers, Period
update, Timeout and Garbage-collection, of RIP. Using the undo timers command,
you can restore the default setting.
The default values of timer Period update, Timeout and Garbage-collection are
respectively 30s, 180s and 120s.
Usually, the timing length of timer Garbage-collection is fixedly 3 times longer
than that of timer Period update. However, in practice, an unreachable route will
not be completely deleted until the fourth update packet sent from the same
neighbor is received. So the actual timing length of timer Garbage-collection is as
3 to 4 times as that of timer Period update. Additionally, the modification on timer
Period update will affect timer Garbage-collection.
The modified value of RIP timers will take effect immediately.
For the related command, see display rip.
Example
Set timer Period update to 10 seconds and timer Timeout to 30 seconds.
