Name Definition
<update> Rate, in seconds, updates are sent. This is the fundamental
timing parameter of the routing protocol. The valid range is 10 to
50 seconds. The default setting is 30 seconds.
<invalid> Interval of time, in seconds, after which a route is declared
invalid. This value should be at least three times the value of
update. The valid range is 1 to 65,535 seconds. The default
setting is 120 seconds.
A route becomes invalid when there is an absence of updates that
refresh the route. The route then enters holddown. The route is
marked inaccessible and advertised as unreachable. However,
the route is still used for forwarding packets.
