l Configuration on an Interface
1. Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2. Run:
interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
3. Run:
pim ipv6 timer hello interval
The interval for sending Hello messages is set.
4. Run:

12.5.3 Configuring the Timeout Period of a Neighbor
The timeout period of a neighbor can be set either globally or on an interface. If the multicast
device does not receive any Hello message from a neighbor when the timeout period is expired,
the device considers that the neighbor is unreachable. The timeout period of the neighbor must
be longer than the interval for sending Hello messages.
Context
Do as follows on the PIM-IPv6 switch:
NOTE
The configuration of the control parameters for maintaining PIM-IPv6 neighbors involves the following
cases:
l Global configuration: It is valid on each interface.
l Configuration on an interface: The configuration on an interface takes precedence over the global
configuration. If the configuration on an interface is not set, the global configuration is used.
Procedure
l Global Configuration
1. Run:
