The time in which an entry in the routing table must be updated. If an

must be at least six times the advertise value.
The range is 60 to 1080 seconds. The default is 180 seconds.

Configure RIP
In this example, the "set forwarding" command configures device server to:
• Listen for and advertise RIP routing information every 45 seconds.
• Discard this route from the routing table if a routing update is not
received within 270 seconds. This value is derived from the value on
the "advertise" option. The timeout value must be at least 6 times the
"advertise" value. Since no timeout is specified, the default (6 times the
"advertise" value) is used.
• Implement split horizon.
#> set forwarding state=active advertise=45 splithorizon=on
