Layer 3 Forwarding Cache
ip multicast route-cache readd-timeout
Command Mode Global Configuration.
Description This command is useful only for networks that are designed to route
multicast traffic. If the switch is not running IGMP-Only or a multicast
routing protocol on multiple IP interfaces, this command has no useful
effect.
Upon receiving the first frame of a new flow, the forwarding entry cache
software is designed to enter a cache entry in the hardware. If the
forwarding entry cache software continues to receive frames for the same
flow for a certain length of time, the software assumes that the hardware
was unable to install the forwarding entry when last programmed, and will
therefore make a new attempt.
The length of time for which the software waits before attempting to re-add
the forwarding entry is called the readd-timeout. The readd-timeout should
be kept small so that a missed attempt at installing a forwarding entry will
be recovered from quickly.
The default timeout is 2 seconds, and the range of adjustment is from 2 to
60 seconds. The no command restores the default setting.
