Configuring Control Parameters for Establishing the Neighbor Relationship

Control Parameters for Establishing the Neighbor Relationship can be configured either globally or on an interface. The configuration in the interface view is prior to the configuration in the PIM view. When the interval is not configured in the interface view, the configuration in the PIM view takes effect.

Prerequisites

Before configuring control parameters for establishing the neighbor relationship, complete the following tasks:

Context

The configuration involves the following cases:

  • Global configuration: It is valid on all the interfaces.

  • Configuration on an interface: The configuration on an interface takes precedence over the global configuration. If the configuration on an interface is not done, the global configuration is used.

Procedure

  • Global Configuration
    1. Access the system view.

      system-view

    2. Access the PIM view.

      pim [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

    3. Set the interval for sending Hello messages.

      timer hello interval

    4. Set the timeout period of holding the reachable state of a neighbor.

      hello-option holdtime interval

      If no Hello message is received after the interval expires, the neighbor is considered unreachable.

  • Configuration on an Interface
    1. Access the system view.

      system-view

    2. Access the interface view.

      interface interface-type interface-number

    3. Set the interval for sending Hello messages.

      pim timer hello interval

    4. Set the maximum delay for triggering Hello messages.

      pim triggered-hello-delay interval

      This can prevent the conflict of Hello messages sent by multiple PIM devices at the same time.

    5. Set the timeout period of holding the reachable state of a neighbor.

      pim hello-option holdtime interval

      If no Hello message is received after the interval expires, the neighbor is considered unreachable.

    6. Contain the Generation ID option in a received Hello message.

      pim require-genid

      The Hello message without the Generation ID option is rejected.

      By default, the FW handles the Hello message without the Generation option.
