[prunetime <seconds>] [rate <num>] [scope <IPaddr/mask>] [threshold <num>]
Mode

Description
The dvmrp set interface command sets DVMRP parameters on an IP interface.
Parameters
<ipAddr/name.
IP address or name of the interface on which you are configuring DVMRP parameters.
metric <num>
The metric (cost) of this interface. Specify a number in the range 1 – 16. The default is
1. Normally you should not change this setting unless the network topology requires
it.
neighbor-timeout <num>
The number of seconds after which the SSR will consider the neighbor to be down.
Specify a number in the range 40 – 400. The default is 35.
Note:
If you have some old routers, this value should be increased to accommodate
them because they don’t send probes or route updates at 40-second intervals.
prunetime <seconds>
The multicast prunetime of this interface. Specify a number in the range 300 – 7200.
The default is 3600 seconds (one hour).
