2.2.7 Adjusting the RIP Timer
The RIP provides the timer adjustment function, which allows you to adjust the
timer so that the RIP routing protocol can run in a better way. You can adjust the
following timers:
Route update timer: It defines the interval in seconds for the router to send the
RIP update packets;
Route invalid timer: It defines the time in seconds after which the routes in the
routing table will become invalid if not updated;
Route clearing timer: It defines the time in seconds after which the routes in the
routing table will be cleared;
By adjusting the above timers, you can accelerate the aggregation and fault
recovery of the routing protocol. To adjust the RIP timers, execute the following
commands in the RIP routing process configuration mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(config-router)# timers basci update
invalid flush
Adjust the RIP timers.
By default, the update interval is 30 seconds, the invalid period is 180 seconds,
and the clearing (flush) period is 120 seconds.
Note
The routers connected in the same network must have the same RIP timers.
