Setting the Leaf Timer
The leaf timer determines whether or not a network or tunnel local to a given
interface is considered to be part of the shortest path to a given source network by
any DVMRP neighbor.
If during this time the local interface has not received a route report for a given
source network, this network or tunnel and its local interface are considered not to
lie in the shortest path for any neighbor. In other words, the local network is not
part of the shortest path to that specific source network.
By default, DVMRP sets the leaf timer at 200 seconds. You can use Site Manager
to specify a value from 25 to 4000 seconds.
