Description
Configure the timeout value for multicast forwarding cache entries. In general, you should regularly refresh the forwarding cache so it does not fill up with old entries and thus prevent newer, higher-priority, entries from being added.
Options
minutes—Length of time that the forwarding cache limit remains active.
Range: 1 through 720
family (inet | inet6)—(Optional) Apply the configured timeout to either IPv4 or IPv6 multicast forwarding cache entries. Configuring the timeout statement globally for the multicast forwarding cache or including the family statement to configure the timeout value for the IPv4 and IPv6 multicast forwarding caches are mutually exclusive.
Default: Six minutes. By default, the configured timeout applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 multicast forwarding cache entries.
Required Privilege Level
