Setting the Leaf Timer
When DVMRP advertises a route on an interface, it waits a period of time for a
DVMRP neighbor to respond positively. If no neighbor responds in the given time,
the router considers the network attached to the interface to be a leaf network. The
leaf timer allows you specify how long the router waits for a response from a
neighbor.
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.
By default, DVMRP sets the leaf timer at 200 seconds. You can use the BCC or
Site Manager to specify a value from 25 to 4,000 seconds.
Using the BCC
Navigate to the DVMRP global prompt and enter:
leaf-timeout
<seconds>
seconds
is an integer from 25 to 4,000 indicating the number of seconds.
For example, the following command sets the leaf timer to 250 seconds:
dvmrp#
leaf-timeout 250
dvmrp#
Note:
DVMRP timers must be the same throughout the network.
