Specifying a Timeout Period
By default, RIP waits 90 seconds for an update from a network before it considers
that network to be unreachable. If you enabled dial-optimized routing on this
interface, the default is 3 hours.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify a timeout period from 15 seconds
through 259,200 seconds (72 hours). For dial-optimized routing, the maximum
value is 3,628,800 seconds (6 weeks).
Set the timeout timer to a value equal to three times the value of the update
interval of the adjacent RIP routers (see “
Specifying the Full Update Interval” on
page 5-18).
Using the BCC
To specify the timeout period, go to a RIP interface prompt (for example,
box;
eth 2/2; ip/2.2.2.2/255.255.0.0; rip
) and enter:
timeout-timer
<
seconds>
seconds
is the timeout interval in seconds.
For example, the following command sets the RIP timeout timer to 120 seconds
on IP interface 2.2.2.2:
rip/2.2.2.2#
timeout-timer 120
rip/2.2.2.2#
Using Site Manager
To specify the timeout period, complete the following tasks:
