Configuring Pim-Dm Graft Retry Period - HP 4800G Series Configuration Manual

Follow these steps to enable the state-refresh capability:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Enable state-refresh
Configuring State-Refresh Parameters
The router directly connected with the multicast source periodically sends state-refresh messages. You
can configure the interval for sending such messages.
A router may receive multiple state-refresh messages within a short time, of which some may be
duplicated messages. To keep a router from receiving such duplicated messages, you can configure
the time the router must wait before receiving the next state-refresh message. If a new state-refresh
message is received within the waiting time, the router will discard it; if this timer times out, the router
will accept a new state-refresh message, refresh its own PIM-DM state, and reset the waiting timer.
The TTL value of a state-refresh message decrements by 1 whenever it passes a router before it is
forwarded to the downstream node until the TTL value comes down to 0. In a small network, a
state-refresh message may cycle in the network. To effectively control the propagation scope of
state-refresh messages, you need to configure an appropriate TTL value based on the network size.
It is recommended to perform the following configurations on all routers in the PIM domain.
Follow these steps to configure state-refresh parameters:
Enter system view
Enter PIM view
Configure the interval between
state-refresh messages
Configure the time to wait before
receiving a new state-refresh
message
Configure the TTL value of
state-refresh messages

Configuring PIM-DM Graft Retry Period

In PIM-DM, graft is the only type of message that uses the acknowledgment mechanism. In a PIM-DM
domain, if a router does not receive a graft-ack message from the upstream router within the specified
time after it sends a graft message, the router keeps sending new graft messages at a configurable
interval, namely graft retry period, until it receives a graft-ack from the upstream router.
