4.11.2 Setting the Period for Keeping the Assert State

Context
The S9300 that fails in the assert election prohibits downstream interfaces from forwarding
multicast data and keeps the Assert status for a period. After the period, the S9300 restores the
downstream interfaces to forward messages.
The Assert control parameters can be set globally or on an interface.

The global configuration is valid for each interface.
The configuration on an interface is valid only for the specified interface. The configuration
on an interface takes precedence over the global configuration. If the assertion holding time
is not set on the interface, the global configuration is used.
