-
- I should have said I thought 4 hours as a DEFAULT was ridiculous.
- I think one hour, or less, is a more reasonable DEFAULT, for MOST users.
-
- What's even more ridiculous is a router that won't let you set the ARP
- cache entry timeout at all, and I should point out that cisco was, as
- with many things, the first router I saw that would let you set it at all.
- If the worst thing I had to live with was setting timeout values more often,
- Oy - I should be so lucky !!
-
- Ciscos are usually the LEAST of my problems here !! (With the best HQ support
- staff I've ever worked with, still.)
-
- One thing I wish they could do was load a config 'to be used later' without
- affecting (even for a second) the running operation of the cisco router.
-
- But with 'expect' & cron I can make do.
