Command Usage 
◆ The pruned state times out approximately every three minutes and the entire 
PIM-DM network is reflooded with multicast packets and prune messages. The 
state refresh feature keeps the pruned state from timing out by periodically 
forwarding a control message down the distribution tree, refreshing the prune 
state on the outgoing interfaces of each router in the tree. This also enables PIM 
routers to recognize topology changes (sources joining or leaving a multicast 
group) before the default three-minute state timeout expires. 
◆ This command is only effectively for interfaces of first hop, PIM-DM routers that 
are directly connected to the sources of multicast groups. 
Example
Console(config-if)#ip pim state-refresh origination-interval 30
