Syntax
timers basic update invalid holddown flush
To return to the default settings, use the no timers basic command.
Parameters
update Enter the number of seconds to specify the rate at which RIP
routing updates are sent. The range is from zero (0) to
4294967295. The default is 30 seconds.
invalid Enter the number of seconds to specify the time interval
before routing updates are declared invalid or expired. The
invalid value should be at least three times the update timer
value. The range is from zero (0) to 4294967295. The default
is 180 seconds.
holddown Enter the number of seconds to specify a time interval during
which the route is marked as unreachable but still sending
RIP packets. The holddown value should be at least three
times the update timer value. The range is from zero (0) to
4294967295. The default is 180 seconds.
flush Enter the number of seconds to specify the time interval
during which the route is advertised as unreachable. When
this interval expires, the route is flushed from the routing
table. The flush value should be greater than the update
value. The range is from zero (0) to 4294967295. The default
is 240 seconds.
Defaults
• update = 30 seconds
• invalid = 180 seconds
• holddown = 180 seconds
