Configuring PIM Hello
Options
Before configuring PIM common information, prepare the following data:
An ACL rule as multicast data filter
■
Priority for DR election (global value/interface level value)
■
PIM neighbor timeout time (global value/interface value)
■
Prune delay (global value/interface level value)
■
Prune override interval (global value/interface level value)
■
Hello interval (global value/interface level value)
■
Maximum delay between hello message (interface level value)
■
Assert timeout time (global value/interface value)
■
Join/prune interval (global value/interface level value)
■
Join/prune timeout (global value/interface value)
■
Multicast source lifetime
■
Maximum size of join/prune messages
■
Maximum number of (S, G) entries in a join/prune message
■
No matter in a PIM-DM domain or a PIM-SM domain, routers can check
passing-by multicast data based on the configured filtering rules and determine
whether to continue forwarding the multicast data. In other words, PIM routers
can act as multicast data filters. These filters can help implement traffic control on
one hand, and control the information available to receivers downstream to
enhance data security on the other hand.
Follow these steps to configure a PIM filter:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter public instance PIM view
or VPN instance PIM view
Configure a multicast group
filter
Generally, a smaller distance from the filter to the multicast source results in a
■
more remarkable filtering effect.
This filter works not only on independent multicast data but also on multicast
■
data encapsulated in register messages.
No matter in a PIM-DM domain or a PIM-SM domain, the hello messages sent
among routers contain many configurable options, including:
DR_Priority (for PIM-SM only): priority for DR election. The device with the
■
highest priority wins the DR election. You can configure this parameter on all
the routers in a multi-access network directly connected to multicast sources or
receivers. For details, refer to the description of the hello-option dr-priority
command in the Command Manual.
Use the command...

pim [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
