Specifying a Route Switch Interval
The route switch interval specifies how long the router should wait, without
receiving a subsequent route update from the original neighbor, before switching
to a different neighbor advertising equal cost for this route.
By default, DVMRP waits 140 seconds (2 minutes, 20 seconds). You can use the
BCC or Site Manager to specify a value from 20 through 2000 seconds (33
minutes, 20 seconds).
If the neighbor is running DVMRP mrouted, you should accept the default value,
140 seconds.
Using the BCC
To reset the route switch interval, navigate to the global DVMRP prompt (for
example,
box; ip; dvmrp
) and enter:
switch-timeout
<seconds>
seconds
is an integer from 20 through 2000 indicating the number of seconds.
For example, the following command sets the route switch interval to 120
seconds:
dvmrp#
switch-timeout 120
dvmrp#
