Modifying IPMS Parameters
Restoring the Querier Timeout
To restore the neighbor querier to its default (i.e., 260 seconds) value you use the no form of the
multicast querier-timeout
-> ip multicast no querier-timeout
Modifying the Flow Timeout
The default multicast flow timeout (i.e., the time in seconds a multicast flow entry is retained by a switch
after the last packet in the flow is processed) is 120 seconds in OmniSwitch 7700/7800/8800 switches and
64800 seconds in OmniSwitch 6600 Series. The following subsections describe how to configure a user-
specified multicast flow-timeout value and how to restore it with the
Configuring the Flow Timeout
You can modify the multicast flow-timeout from 0 to 65535 seconds by entering
out
followed by the new value. For example, to set the flow timeout to 360 seconds you would enter:
-> ip multicast flow-timeout 360
Restoring the Flow Timeout
To restore the multicast flow-timeout to its default (i.e., 120 seconds in OmniSwitch 7700/7800/8800
switches and 64800 seconds in OmniSwitch 6600 Series) value use ip multicast flow-timeout, followed
by the value 0.
-> ip multicast flow-timeout 0
Modifying the Querier Aging and Election Timeout
The default IPMS querier aging and election timeout (i.e., the time for which a currently elected querier is
aged and a new multicast querier is elected) is 255 seconds. The following subsections describe how to
configure a user-specified querier aging and election timeout value and how to restore it with the
ip multicast other-querier-timeout
Configuring the Querier Aging and Election Timeout
You can modify the IPMS querier aging and election timeout from 0 to 4294967295 seconds by entering
ip multicast other-querier-timeout
election timeout to 120 seconds you would enter:
-> ip multicast other-querier-timeout 120
Restoring the Querier Aging and Election Timeout
