Configure DVMRP

You configure DVMRP routing on the SSR by performing the following DVMRP-
configuration tasks.
• Creating IP interfaces.
• Setting global parameters that will be used for all the interfaces on which DVMRP
is enabled.
• Configuring DVMRP on individual interfaces. You do so by enabling and disabling
DVMRP on interfaces and then setting DVMRP parameters on the interfaces on
which DVMRP is disabled.
• Defining DVMRP tunnels, which IP uses to send multicast traffic between two end
points.

Starting and Stopping DVMRP

DVMRP is disabled by default on the SSR.
To start or stop DVMRP, enter one of the following commands in Configure mode:
Start DVMRP.
Stop DVMRP.

Configure DVMRP on an Interface

DVMRP can be controlled/configured on per-interface basis. An interface does not
have to run both DVMRP and IGMP together. DVMRP can be started or stopped
IGMP starts and stops automatically with DVMRP.
To enable IGMP on an interface, enter the following command in the Configure mode:
Enable DVMRP on an interface.

Configure DVMRP Parameters

In order to support backward compatibility, DVMRP neighbor timeout and prune time
can be configured on a per-interface basis. The default neighbor timeout is 35 seconds.
The default prune time is 7200 seconds.
