HP 6125G - Configuring State Refresh Parameters; Configuring Ipv6 PIM-DM Graft Retry Period

301
Configuring state refresh parameters
The router directly connected with the multicast source periodically sends state-refresh messages. You can
configure the interval for sending such messages.
A router might receive multiple state-refresh messages within a short time. Some messages might be
duplicated messages. To keep a router from receiving such duplicated messages, you can configure the
time that the router must wait before receiving the next state-refresh message. If the router receives a new
state-refresh message within the waiting time, it discards it. If this timer times out, the router will accept
a new state-refresh message, refresh its own IPv6 PIM-DM state, and reset the waiting timer.
The hop limit value of a state-refresh message decrements by 1 whenever it passes a router before it is
forwarded to the downstream node until the hop limit value comes down to 0. In a small network, a
state-refresh message might cycle in the network. To control the propagation scope of state-refresh
messages, you must configure an appropriate hop limit value based on the network size.
Perform the following configurations on all routers in the IPv6 PIM domain.
To configure state-refresh parameters:
Ste

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter IPv6 PIM view.
pim ipv6 N/A
3. Configure the interval

Optional.
60 seconds by default.

before receiving a new
state-refresh message.

30 seconds by default.
5. Configure the hop limit value
of state-refresh messages.
state-refresh-hoplimit
hoplimit-value
Optional.
255 by default.
Configuring IPv6 PIM-DM graft retry period
In IPv6 PIM-DM, graft is the only type of message that uses the acknowledgment mechanism. In an IPv6
PIM-DM domain, if a router does not receive a graft-ack message from the upstream router within the
specified time after it sends a graft message, the router keeps sending new graft messages at a
configurable interval (namely, graft retry period) until it receives a graft-ack message from the upstream
router.
To configure the IPv6 PIM-DM graft retry period:

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface view.

N/A
3. Configure the graft retry
period.

Optional.
3 seconds by default.
