timer

Sets the global MVRP join, leave and leave-all timers values on all MVRP-enabled interfaces except the interfaces configured with the mvrp timer command in interface configuration mode.

Syntax

timer join cs leave cs leave-all cs
no timer join cs leave cs leave-all cs

Command Default

The join timer default setting is 20 centiseconds (cs).

The leave timer default setting is 100 cs.

The leave-all timer default setting is 1000 cs.

Parameters

join cs
Specifies the join timer in centiseconds. Enter an integer from 20 to 10000000.
leave cs
Specifies the leave timer in centiseconds. Enter an integer from 100 to 10000000. The leave timer setting must be greater than or equal to twice the join timer setting plus 30 centiseconds.
leave-all cs
Specifies the leave-all timer in centiseconds. Enter an integer from 1000 to 10000000. The leave-all timer setting must be a minimum of three times the value of the leave timer setting.

Modes

MVRP configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

MVRP is supported on the Extreme 8820, SLX 9740, SLX 9640, and SLX 9540 devices only.

The no form of the command resets the default settings globally and on interfaces that are not configured with the mvrp timer command in interface configuration mode.

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, 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 the load of the system.

The configured timer settings on the individual interfaces override the global timer configuration.

The join timer is not run periodically but is triggered by the MVRP events or state changes. However, the leave-all timer is periodic; required for garbage collection purposes.

Examples

The following example configures the global MVRP timer settings.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# protocol mvrp
device(config-mvrp)# timer join 40 leave 200 leave-all 2000
device(config-mvrp)#
