Configuring DLSw Timers

You can also configure two timer values that influence how circuits on the DLSw router are established:

Explorer timeout is the maximum time the DLSw router waits for its peers to respond to its explorer requests. To configure a timeout period, include the explorer-wait-time statement at the [edit protocols dlsw] hierarchy level:explorer-wait-time seconds;
By default, the explorer-wait-time value is 10 seconds. The range is from 5 through 60 seconds.
Reachability cache timeout is the maximum time an entry remains in the reachability cache before it is deleted. To configure a timeout period, include the reachability-cache-timeout statement at the [edit protocols dlsw] hierarchy level:reachability-cache-timeout seconds;
By default, the reachability-cache-timeout value is 900 seconds. The range is from 0 through 3600 seconds. A lower value helps detect new routes that might have become available during the timeout period.
