Parameter Description
Interface Name The name of the IP interface (previously
defined) on the switch for which a multicast
interface is to be configured.
IP Address The IP address (sometimes referred to as a
network address) corresponding to the
interface name above.
Hello Interval Determines the interval between sending
Hello packets to other routers on the
network. The Hello messages are used by
the router to determine if it is the root
router on the delivery tree or not. If the
router does not receive a Hello message
within the Hello Interval, it will begin
transmitting Hello messages to advertise
its availability to become the root router.
The range is between 1 and 65535 seconds.
The default is 30 seconds.
Join/Prune Interval Determines the interval between
transmitting (flooding to all interfaces)
multicast messages to downstream routers,
and automatically 'pruning' a branch from
the multicast delivery tree. This interval
also determines the time interval the
router uses to automatically remove prune
information from a branch of a multicast
delivery tree and begin to flood multicast
messages to all branches of that delivery
tree. These two actions are equivalent. The
range is between 1 and 65535 seconds. The
default is 60 seconds.
