DVMRP Configuration Guidelines

To configure DVMRP, you include statements at the [edit protocols dvmrp] hierarchy level of the configuration. You can include the following statements in the configuration:

 protocols {
 	 dvmrp {
 	 	 disable; 
 	 	 export [ policy-names ]; 
 	 	 import [ policy-names ]; 
 	 	 rib-group group-name;
 	 	 traceoptions {
 	 	 	 file name <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp> 
 	 	 	 	 <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;
 	 	 	 flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 
 	 	 }
 	 	 interface interface-name {
 	 	 	 disable;
 	 	 	 hold-time seconds;
 	 	 	 metric metric;
 	 	 }
 	 }
 }
 

By default, DVMRP is disabled.

This chapter describes the following tasks for configuring DVMRP:

• Minimum DVMRP Configuration
• Create Routing Tables for DVMRP Routes
• Enable DVMRP
• Modify the DVMRP Hold-Time Period
• Modify the Metric Value
• Disable DVMRP on an Interface
• Configure DVMRP Routing Policy
• Trace DVMRP Protocol Traffic

For a configuration example, see Example: Configure DVMRP.
