NOTE
Use the same Join/Prune message interval on all the PIM Sparse routers in the PIM Sparse domain.
If the routers do not all use the same timer interval, the performance of PIM Sparse can be adversely
affected.
To change the Join/Prune interval, enter commands such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 router pim
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-pim-router)# message-interval 30
Syntax: [no] message-interval <seconds>
The <seconds> parameter specifies the number of seconds and can be from 1 – 65535. The
default is 60 seconds.
Setting the inactivity timer
The router deletes a forwarding entry if the entry is not used to send multicast packets. TheIPv6
PIM inactivity timer defines how long a forwarding entry can remain unused before the router
deletes it.
To apply a IPv6 PIM inactivity timer of 160 seconds to all IPv6 PIM interfaces, enter the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 router pim
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-pim-router)# inactivity-timer 160
Syntax: [no] inactivity-timer <seconds>
The <seconds> parameter specifies the number of seconds. Valid range is 60 - 3600. The default
is 180 seconds.
Changing the hello timer
This parameter defines the interval at which periodic hellos are sent out PIM interfaces. Routers
use hello messages to inform neighboring routers of their presence. To change the hello timer,
enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 router pim
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-pim-router)#hello-timer 62
Syntax: [no] hello-timer <seconds>
The <seconds> parameter specifies the number of seconds. Valid range is 10 - 3600. The default
is 60 seconds.
Enabling source-specific multicast
Using the Any-Source Multicast (ASM) service model, sources and receivers register with a
multicast address. The protocol uses regular messages to maintain a correctly configured
broadcast network where all sources can send data to all receivers and all receivers get broadcasts
from all sources.
