Changing Pim-Sm Timers; Join/Prune Period; Hello Timer - HP ProCurve Secure Router 7203 dl Advanced Management And Configuration Manual

C a u t i o n
You only need to set a priority on interfaces on multi-access networks. On the
ProCurve Secure Router, these are Ethernet interfaces and subinterfaces. To
specify the priority, move to the interface configuration mode context and
enter:
Syntax: ip pim-sparse dr-priority <value>
You can enter a number from 1 to 4294967295 for the priority value.

Changing PIM-SM Timers

You can alter the length of these PIM-SM timers on the ProCurve Secure
Router:

join/prune period

hello timer

neighbor timeout
override timer
propagation delay
Enter the commands shown in Table 11-2 to configure PIM timers. The
following sections discuss the timers in more detail.
You should generally leave the timers at their defaults unless you have
experience working with PIM-SM. If you do not take great care when setting
the timers, you can disrupt PIM-SM's functions. For example, if you lower the
neighbor timeout on your router without also lowering the hello timer on
neighboring routers, your router may time out neighbors on good connections.
