To configure neighbor timeout or prune time, enter one of the following commands in
Configure mode:
Configure the DVMRP neighbor time-
out.
Configure the DVMRP prune time.

Configure the DVMRP Routing Metric

Configure DVMRP TTL and Scope

For control over internet traffic, per-interface control is allowed through Scopes and
TTL thresholds.
The TTL value controls whether packets are forwarded from an interface.
Conventional guidelines for assigning TTL values to a multicast application, and their
corresponding SSR setting for DVMRP threshold:
TTL = 1
TTL < 16
TTL < 64
TTL < 128 Threshold = 128
TTL = 255
To configure the TTL Threshold, enter the following command in Configure mode:
Configure the TTL Threshold.
