Configuring RIP
9-39
MOT(config-rip)#output-delay <delay>
where:
delay is the delay, in milliseconds, between packets in a multiple-packet RIP
update; valid values are 8 to 50 milliseconds; default is no delay.
Use the no output-delay command to return to the default.
Configuring Timers
Routing protocols use timers to determine time intervals for route information
adjustment.A number of seconds to the setting to prevent collisions.
1. To determine the current timers, use the show ip protocols command in
Privileged EXEC mode, as shown below:
MOT#show ip protocols
2. To set the RIP network timers, use the timers basic command in Router RIP
Configuration mode, as shown below.
MOT(config-rip)#timers basic <update-timer> <invalid> <timeout>
<flush-timer>
where:
update-timer is the update timer value in seconds between periodic routing
updates; default is 30.
invalid is the interval of time in seconds after which a route is declared
invalid; this interval should be at least three times the update-timer value. A
route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that refresh the
route. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. The
route, however, is still used to forward packets.
timeout is the interval value in seconds for routing updates; default is 180.
