RIP Router Configuration
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
holddown <0-360> | Specifies a holddown timer. |
|
holddown <holdown-timer> | Specifies the global holddown timer, which is the length of time (in seconds) that RIP maintains a route in the garbage list after determining that it is unreachable. During this period, RIP continues to advertise the garbage route with a metric of infinity (16). If a valid update for a garbage route is received within the holddown period, the router adds the route back into its routing table. If no update is received, the router deletes the garbage list entry. Range is 0–360 seconds. Default is 120 seconds. |
|
timeout <15-259200> | Specifies a global timeout. |
|
timeout <global-timeout> | Specifies the global timeout interval parameter. If a RIP router does not receive an update from another RIP router within the configured timeout period, it moves the routes advertised by the nonupdating router to the garbage list. The timeout interval must be greater than the update timer. Range is 15–259200 seconds. Default is 180 seconds. |
|
update <1-360> | Specifies a value for the RIP update timer, which is the time interval (in seconds) between regular RIP updates. The update timer value must be less than the timeout interval. Default is 30 seconds. |
