Enter a value, in seconds, between advertisements broadcast over a network in the Route Change Damp Time (seconds) field. The default value is 30 seconds. A lower value corresponds with a higher volume of broadcast traffic over the network.
|
The Route Change Damp Time (seconds) setting defines the delay between the time a VPN tunnel changes state (up or down) and the time the change is advertised with RIP. The delay, in seconds, prevents ambiguous route advertisements sent as a result of a temporary change in the VPN tunnel status.

If either RIPv2 option is selected from the Route Advertisements drop-down menu, you can optionally enter a value for the route tag in the RIPv2 Route Tag (4 HEX Digits) field. This value is implementation-dependent and provides a mechanism for routers to classify the originators of RIPv2 advertisements.
