Configuring the MVRP join, leave, and leave-all timers

By default, the MVRP join, leave, and leave-all timer have the following settings.

The join timer default setting is 20 centiseconds (cs).
The leave timer default setting is 100 cs. The leave timer setting must be greater than or equal to twice the join timer setting plus 30 centiseconds.
The leave-all timer default setting is 1000 cs. The leave-all timer setting must be a minimum of three times the value of the leave timer setting.

You can configure global timer settings or settings for each interface that overrides the global timer settings. If the network radius is large or the expected system load is higher normally, Extreme recommends that you change the timer values to higher numbers as appropriate for the MVRP operation to reduce the MVRP PDU exchanges and processing by the NSM.

In privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
To set the global timer settings, access MVRP configuration mode.
```
device(config)# protocol mvrp
```
Set the global MVRP join, leave and leave-all timers values that will be applied implicitly on all the MVRP-enabled interfaces.
```
device(config-mvrp)# timer join 40 leave 200 leave-all 2000
```
In this step, the join timer is set to 40 centiseconds (cs), the leave timer is set to 200 cs, and the leave-all timer is set to 2000 cs.
Access global configuration mode.
```
device(config-mvrp)# exit
```
To set the timers for an individual interface, access the configuration mode for the interface.
```
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
```
This step is for an Ethernet interface. You can also change the settings for a port-channel interface.

Configure the timers for the interface.

device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# timer join 50 leave 300 leave-all 3000
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)#

The following example provides the steps for setting the MVRP timers globally and for an interface.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# protocol mvrp
device(config-mvrp)# timer join 40 leave 200 leave-all 2000
device(config-mvrp)# exit
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# timer join 50 leave 300 leave-all 3000
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)#
