same neighbor and the route in the update has a metric less than 16, RIPng uses the route to replace

the suppressed route.

• Garbage-collect timer—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, RIPng advertises the route with a

metric of 16. If no update is announced for that route before the garbage-collect timer expires,

RIPng deletes the route from the routing table.

HP recommends not changing the default values of these timers.

The timer lengths must be kept consistent on all routers in the network.

Examples

# Configure the update, timeout, suppress, and garbage-collect timers as 5s, 15s, 15s, and 30s.
