Usage Guidelines

The no form of the command returns the timers to their default settings.

RIPng must be enabled before you can set the timers.

You must enter values for all of the timers, even those you do not want to reset. This is true for the no form of the command as well.

Examples

The following example adjusts the setting for the garbage collection timer and retains default settings for all other timers.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router rip
device(config-ripng-router)# timers 30 180 180 110
