How frequently the BigIron RX sends PIM Sparse hello messages to its
PIM Sparse neighbors. This field show the number of seconds between
hello messages. PIM Sparse routers use hello messages to discover one
another.
How many seconds the BigIron RX will wait for a hello message from a
neighbor before determining that the neighbor is no longer present and
removing cached PIM Sparse forwarding entries for the neighbor.
How frequently the BSR configured on the BigIron RX sends the RP set to
the RPs within the PIM Sparse domain. The RP set is a list of candidate
RPs and their group prefixes. A candidate RP's group prefix indicates the
range of PIM Sparse group numbers for which it can be an RP.
NOTE: This field contains a value only if an interface on the BigIron RX is
elected to be the BSR. Otherwise, the field is blank.
How frequently the candidate PR configured on the BigIron RX sends
candidate RP advertisement messages to the BSR.
