Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1.

Description

RIP demand circuits send update messages every 5 seconds to an unresponsive peer. Configure the retransmission timer to limit the number of times the demand circuit resends update messages to an unresponsive peer. If the configured retransmission threshold is reached, routes from the next hop router are marked as unreachable and the hold-down timer starts. You must configure a pair of RIP demand circuits for this timer to take effect.

To determine the number of times to resend the update message, use the following calculation:

5 seconds x number of retransmissions = retransmission seconds

Options

seconds—The total amount of time the demand circuit resends update messages to an unresponsive peer. The seconds range corresponds to sending an update message a minimum of 1 time (5 seconds) and a maximum of 36 times (180 seconds).

Range: 5 through 180 seconds

Default: 5 seconds

Required Privilege Level
