Configuring a Forwarding Table
To minimize the amount of time that it spends looking up routes, DVMRP creates
and maintains a cache of frequently used routes -- called a forwarding table -- for
each IP interface.
By default, DVMRP preallocates a forwarding table of 32 entries for each
interface. You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify the maximum number
of entries (32 to 512) allowed in the forwarding table associated with this
interface.
When configuring a forwarding cache size, you must also keep in mind the TTL
value for entries. If you specify a large cache size, you can specify a larger TTL
value. A smaller cache requires a smaller TTL for cache entries.
By default, DVMRP uses a TTL of 7200 seconds (two hours) for entries in the
forwarding table. You can use Site Manager to specify a TTL from 300 to 86,400
seconds.
If your neighbor is running mrouted, the recommended TTL value is 300 seconds.
