DGS-6604 m timers timers Use this command to configure the RIP network timers. To restore the default timers use the default form of this command. timers {update SECONDS | invalid SECONDS | flush SECONDS } default timers {update | invalid | flush} Syntax Description update SECONDS Specifies the rate (in seconds) at which updates are sent. This is the fundamental timing parameter of the RIP routing protocol. The default is 30 seconds. The range is 5 to 2147483647 (signed long). invalid SECONDS Specifies the Interval of time (in seconds) after which a route is declared invalid. It should be at least three times the value of the update argument. A route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that refresh the route. The route is marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However, the route is still used for forwarding packets. The default is 180 seconds. The range is 5 to 2147483647. flush SECONDS Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that must pass before the route is removed from the routing table. The default is 120 seconds. The range is 5 to 2147483647. Default Command Mode Usage Guideline Example update SECONDS: 30 invalid SECONDS: 180 flush time SECONDS: 120 Router configuration The basic timing parameters for RIP are adjustable. RIP executes a distributed, asynchronous routing algorithm, therefore these timers must be the same for all routers and access servers in the network. The following example shows how to configure the update timer to 60 seconds: Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)# router rip Switch(config-router)# timer update 60 Verify the settings by entering the show ip protocols command.
