Changing Pim-Sm Timers - HP 7102dl - ProCurve Secure Router Configuration Manual

C a u t i o n
Because a router can have interfaces on several different networks, you set
the DR priority for each specific interface. You can assign different interfaces
different priorities. For an example, your ProCurve Secure Router connects
to VLAN 10 on Ethernet subinterface 0/1.10 and to VLAN 20 on Ethernet
subinterface 0/1.20. If you only want the router to be DR on exactly one subnet,
you could assign Ethernet subinterface 0/1.10 a high priority, but Ethernet
subinterface 0/1.20 a priority of one.
You only need to set a priority on interfaces on multi-access networks. On the
ProCurve Secure Router, these are Ethernet interfaces and subinterfaces. To
specify the priority, move to the interface configuration mode context and
enter:
Syntax: ip pim-sparse dr-priority <value>
You can enter a number from 1 to 4294967295 for the priority value.

Changing PIM-SM Timers

You can alter the length of these PIM-SM timers on the ProCurve Secure
Router:
join/prune period
hello timer
neighbor timeout
override timer
propagation delay
Enter the commands shown in Table 13-2 to configure PIM timers. The
following sections discuss the timers in more detail.
You should generally leave the timers at their defaults unless you have
experience working with PIM-SM. If you do not take great care when setting
the timers, you can disrupt PIM-SM's functions. For example, if you lower the
neighbor timeout on your router without also lowering the hello timer on
neighboring routers, your router may time out neighbors on good connections.
