Configuring the Interpacket Update Time

Use the

gmapupdtime

command to display or change the time between sending updates.

Note

The switches avoid synchronization by jittering the
update time by plus or minus one quarter of the config-
ured interval. For example, if the default of 300 seconds
is used, the jitter is plus or minus 75 seconds.

To view the current update time, enter the following:

gmapupdttime

A message similar to the following displays:

GMAP Update Time is 300 seconds.

To change the update time, enter the command and the desired time (any value between 1
and 65535). For example:

gmapupdttime 100

A message similar to the following displays:

GMAP Update Time is 100 seconds.

Configuring the Hold Time

Use the

gmapholdtime

command to display or change the length of time for which

GMAP

will

retain information it has learned.

To view the current hold time, enter the following:

gmapholdtime

A message similar to the following displays:

GMAP Hold Time is 4320 minutes.

The default is 4320 minutes (72 hours). To change the current hold time, enter the command
followed by the desired value (any value between 1 and 65535). For example:

gmapholdtime 2880

A message similar to the following displays:

GMAP Hold Time is 2880 minutes.
