Chapter 37 - DVMRP Commands
The DVMRP commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following table.
Command Parameters
config dvmrp [ipif <ipif_name 12> | all] {metric <value 1-31> | probe <sec 1-65535> | neighbor_timeout <sec 1-65535> |
state [enable | disable]}
enable dvmrp
disable dvmrp
show dvmrp neighbor {ipif <ipif_name 12> | ipaddress <network_address>}
show dvmrp nexthop
show dvmrp routing_table {ipaddress <network_address>}
show dvmrp {ipif <ipif_name 12>}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections:
config dvmrp
Purpose Used to configure DVMRP on the Switch.
Syntax config dvmrp [ipif <ipif_name 12> | all] {metric <value 1-31> | probe <sec 1-65535> |
neighbor_timeout <sec 1-65535> | state [enable | disable]}
Description This command is used to configure DVMRP on the Switch.
Parameters <ipif_name 12> – The name of the IP interface for which DVMRP is to be configured.
all – Specifies that DVMRP is to be configured for all IP interfaces on the Switch.
metric <value 1-31> – Allows the assignment of a DVMRP route cost to the above IP interface.A DVMRP route
cost is a relative number that represents the real cost of using this route in the construction of a multicast
delivery tree. It is similar to, but not defined as, the hop count in RIP.The default is 1.
probe <second 1-65525> – DVMRP defined an extension to IGMP that allows routers to query other routers to
determine if a DVMRP neighbor is present on a given subnetwork or not.This is referred to as a ‘probe’.This
entry will set an intermittent probe (in seconds) on the device that will transmit dvmrp messages, depending on
the time specified.This probe is also used to “keep alive” the connection between DVMRP enabled devices.The
default value is 10 seconds.
neighbor_timeout <second 1-65535> – The time period for which DVMRP will hold Neighbor Router reports
before issuing poison route messages.The default value is 35 seconds.
state [enable | disable] – Allows DVMRP to be enabled or disabled.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure DVMRP configurations of the IP interface System:
AT-9724TS:4# config dvmrp ipif System neighbor_timeout 30
metric 1 probe 5
Command: config dvmrp ipif System neighbor_timeout 30
metric 1 probe 5
