Parameters
update-timer-length Enter the value of the period update timer, ranging from 1
to 3600 seconds. The default value is 30 seconds.
timeout-timer-length Enter the value of the timeout timer, ranging from 1 to
3600 seconds. The default value is 180 seconds.
Description
Use the timers command to modify the values of the three RIP timers: period
update, timeout, and garbage-collection.
Use the undo timers command to restore the default settings.
By default, the values of period update, timeout, and garbage-collection timers
are 30 seconds, 180 seconds, and 120 seconds, respectively.
Generally, the value of the garbage-collection timer is fixed to 4 times the value of
the period update timer. Adjusting the period update timer will affect the
garbage-collection timer.
The modification of RIP timers takes effect immediately.
Related Command: display rip
Example
Set the values of the Period Update timer and the Timeout timer of RIP to 10
seconds and 30 seconds respectively.
