Usage guidelines
RIP is controlled by the following timers:
Update timer—Specifies the interval between routing updates.
Timeout timer—Specifies the route aging time. If no update for a route is received before the time
expires, the metric of the route is set to 16.
Suppress timer—Specifies how long a RIP route stays in suppressed state. When the metric of a
route becomes 16, the route enters the suppressed state. If RIP receives an update for the route from
the same neighbor and the route in the update has a metric less than 16, RIP uses the route to
replace the suppressed route.
Garbage-collect timerSpecifies the interval from when the metric of a route becomes 16 to when
it is deleted from the routing table. During the garbage-collect timer length, RIP advertises the route
with a metric of 16. If no update is announced for that route before the garbage-collect timer expires,
RIP deletes the route from the routing table.
HP does not recommend changing the default values of these timers.
The time lengths must be consistent on all routers in the network.
