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]; 

        interface interface-name {

            disable;

            hold-time seconds;

            metric metric;

            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>; 

        }

    }

}

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
• Configure DVMRP Routing Modes
• Trace DVMRP Protocol Traffic
