Sets the MVRP join, leave, and leave-all timer values on an Ethernet or port-channel interface.
The join timer default value is 20 centiseconds (cs).
The leave timer default value is 100 cs.
The leave-all timer default value is 1000 cs.
Interface configuration mode
MVRP is supported only on devices based on the DNX chipset family. For a list of such devices, see "Supported Hardware".
The no form of this command resets the timers to the global timer configuration. If the global timers have not been configured, the timers are reset to the default values.
Before configuring this command, you must configure the interface as switchport and globally enable MVRP on the device and on the interface to allow the MVRP-enabled interface to participate in the protocol.
This command requires that you configure the timer values in the specified order and you must configure all values.
When the network radius is large or the expected system load is higher normally, and since the default timer values are aggressive, Extreme recommends that you change the timer values to higher numbers to reduce the MVRP message exchanges and load on the system.
The configured timer settings on the individual MVRP-enabled interfaces override the global timer configuration.
The join timer is not run periodically but is triggered by the MVRP events and the device state changes. However, the leave-all timer is periodic required for garbage collection purposes.
The following example configures the MVRP timers on an Ethernet interface.
device# configure terminal device(config)# protocol mvrp device(config-mvrp)# exit device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1 device(conf-if-eth-1/1)# switchport device(conf-if-eth-1/1)# mvrp enable device(conf-if-eth-1/1)# switchport mode trunk device(conf-if-eth-1/1)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20-24 device(conf-if-eth-1/1)# mvrp timer join 40 leave 200 leave-all 2000 device(conf-if-eth-1/1)#
