pim holdtime assert

Function

The pim holdtime assert command sets the timeout period during which a PIM interface keeps the Assert state.

The undo pim holdtime assert command restores the default value of the timeout.

Format

pim holdtime assert interval

undo pim holdtime assert

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
interval	Specifies the timeout period during which a PIM interface keeps the Assert state.	The value is an integer that ranges from 7 to 65535, in seconds.

Views

Interface view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

By default, the timeout period during which a PIM interface keeps the Assert state is 180 seconds.

This command functions in the interface view in the same way as the holdtime assert (IPv4) command in the PIM view, except for the view. By default, if the configuration on the interface is not done, the value configured in the PIM view is used; otherwise, the value configured in the interface view is used.

You must run the multicast routing-enable command to enable the multicast function before using the command.

Example

# Set the timeout period for the PIM interface to keep the Assert state to 100s.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] multicast routing-enable
[sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0
[sysname-GigabitEthernet0/0/0] pim holdtime assert 100
