Configuring the RSVP refresh multiple

When refresh messages are not received, RSVP path states and resource reservations are removed from the routers in an LSP. By default, the device waits the length of three refresh intervals; when no refresh message is received by the end of that time, the path state or resource reservation is removed.

The user can set the refresh multiple from zero through 65535 intervals.

Complete the following steps to set the refresh multiple to five intervals.

Enable the device for configuration.
```
device# configure
```
Enable the MPLS router.
```
device(config)# router mpls
```
Enable configuration of RSVP parameters
```
device(config-router-mpls)# rsvp
```
Configure the refresh multiple.
```
device(config-router-mpls-rsvp)# refresh-multiple 5
```
The refresh multiple is the number of unresponsive paths or reservations before time runs out. In this example, the refresh multiple is configured to 5.

Example

The following example shows setting the refresh multiple to 5.

device# configure
device(config)# router mpls
device(config-router-mpls)# rsvp
device(config-router-mpls-rsvp)# refresh-multiple 5
