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 ]; 
         mode (forwarding | unicast-routing);
         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.
