Command Usage
• When a router first starts or PIM-DM is enabled on an interface, the
hello-interval is set to random value between 0 and the trigger-hello-
interval. This prevents synchronization of Hello messages on multi-
access links if multiple routers are powered on simultaneously.
• Also, if a Hello message is received from a new neighbor, the receiving
router will send its own Hello message after a random delay between 0
and the trigger-hello-interval.
