Cisco Broadband Cable Command Reference Guide
packetcable timer
To change the value of the different PacketCable Dynamic Quality of Service (DQoS) timers, use the
packetcable timer command in global configuration mode. To reset a timer to its default value, use the
no form of this command.
packetcable timer {T0 timer-value | T1 timer-value | T2 timer-value | T5 timer-value}
no packetcable timer {T0 | T1 | T2 | T5}
Defaults T0 has a default value of 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds).
T1 has a default value of 200000 milliseconds (200 seconds).
T2 has a default value of 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds).
T5 has a default value of 500 milliseconds.

Command History
T0 timer-value Sets the T0 timer in milliseconds. The valid range is 1 to 1,000,000,000
milliseconds, with a default value of 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds).
T1 timer-value Sets the T1 timer in milliseconds. The valid range is 1 to 1,000,000,000
milliseconds, with a default value of 200000 milliseconds (200 seconds).
T2 timer-value Sets the T2 timer in milliseconds. The valid range is 1 to 1,000,000,000
milliseconds, with a default value of 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds).
T5 timer-value Sets the T5 timer in milliseconds. The valid range is 1 to 1,000,000,000
milliseconds, with a default value of 500 milliseconds.
Note The T5 timer should always be several times smaller than the T2
timer.
Release Modification
12.2(8)BC2 This command was introduced for the Cisco uBR7200 series universal
broadband router.
Usage Guidelines This command sets the following timers, which are defined in the PacketCable Dynamic
Quality-of-Service Specification (PKT-SP-DQOS-I03-020116):
T0 specifies the amount of time that a gate ID can remain allocated without any specified gate
parameters. The timer begins counting when a gate is allocated with a Gate-Alloc command. The
timer stops when a Gate-Set command marks the gate as Authorized. If the timer expires without a
Gate-Set command being received, the gate is deleted.
