pim timer join-prune

Function

The pim timer join-prune command sets the interval for periodically sending Join or Prune messages to the upstream FW.

The undo pim timer join-prune command restores the default value of the interval.

Format

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
interval	Specifies the interval at which Join or Prune messages are sent.	The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 18000, in seconds.

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

By default, the interval for periodically sending Join or Prune messages to the upstream FW is 60 seconds.

This command applies to PIM-SM networks.

The interval configured through this command must be shorter than the interval configured through the pim holdtime join-prune command. The interval at which Join or Prune messages are sent must be shorter than the holdtime carried in Join/Prune messages.

The configuration is the same as that of the timer join-prune (IPv4) command in the PIM view, except for the view. The system prefers the configuration in the interface view. The value configured in the PIM view is used if no value is configured on the interface.

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

Example

# Set the interval for sending Join or Prune messages to 80 seconds on GE 1/0/0.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] multicast routing-enable
[sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0
[sysname-GigabitEthernet0/0/0] pim timer join-prune 80
