IGRP Default Times Question

Nov 17, 2005 1 Replies

IGRP timers are (by default):



Update: 90 seconds Invalid: 3 x update



Hold-down: 3 x update plus ten seconds



Flush timer: 7 x update



Question: If the update timer is changed by the administrator, do the values of the other timers change according to these rules (3 x new update value) or do they stay the same (3 x default update value)?

I believe that all timers values must be specified in the timer basic command within the IGRP routing process:

router igrp 1 timers basic update invalid holddown flush [sleeptime] exit

Cisco recommends preserving the ratios between the default values should new values for the timers be configured, but I do not believe it calculates these automatically (i.e if you change one, then change all)
