Quidway S3700 Series Ethernet Switches
Configuration Guide - Multicast
The Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is applicable to a large-scale
network with sparsely-distributed members. For details about PIM-SM, see
Configuration.

6.2 PIM-DM Features Supported by the S3700

The system can work normally with default PIM-DM parameters. You are also allowed to adjust
parameters related to neighbor discovery, prune, state refresh, graft, and assert according to
specific scenarios. In addition, you can configure various filtering policies and the PIM silent
function to enhance the PIM-DM security.
Controlling the Forwarding of a Multicast Source
You can configure the Keepalive period of a multicast source and the filtering rules based on
multicast sources.
Adjusting Control Parameters for Setting Up Neighbor Relationship
You can set the following control parameters:
l

Adjusting Control Parameters for Pruning
You can adjust the following control parameters for pruning:
l

Adjusting Control Parameters for State-Refresh
You can enable or disable State-Refresh, set the interval for sending PIM State-Refresh
messages, set the minimum interval for receiving the next State-Refresh message, and set the
TTL value for forwarding State-Refresh messages on the switch directly connected to the source.
Adjusting Control Parameters for Graft
You can set the interval for retransmitting Graft messages.
Issue 01 (2011-10-26)
The interval for sending Hello messages
The period for keeping neighbors reachable
Whether the Hello messages without the Generation ID option are received
The maximum delay for triggering Hello messages
Neighbor filtering function: An interface sets up neighbor relationships with only the
addresses matching the filtering rules and deletes the neighbors unmatched with the filtering
rules
The interval for keeping the Prune state of the downstream interface
The delay from the time when the current switch receives a Prune message from a
downstream switch to the time when the current switch performs the prune action in the
LAN
The period for overriding the prune action
