12.6.2 Configuring the Period for an Interface to Keep the Prune
State
The period for an interface to keep the prune state can be set either globally or on an interface.
After the period expires, the pruned interface starts to forward messages again. If the multicast
device receives a State-Refresh message before the period expires, it resets the timer, that is, it
refreshes the prune state.
Context
Do as follows on the PIM-DM switch:
NOTE
The configuration of the control parameters of prune involves the following cases:
l Global Configuration: It is valid on all the interfaces.
l Configuration on the 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:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2. Run:
pim-ipv6
The PIM-IPv6 view is displayed.
3. Run:
holdtime join-prune interval
The period during which the downstream interface is in the Prune state is set.
After the period expires, the pruned interface continues to forward packets. Before
the period expires, the switch resets the Holdtime timer after receiving a State-Refresh
message.
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 holdtime join-prune interval
The period during which the downstream interface is in the Prune state is set.
