Context
Do as follows on the PIM-SM (IPv6) switch:
NOTE
The configuration of the control parameters for maintaining PIM neighbors involves the following cases:
l Global configuration: It is valid on all the interfaces.
l Configuration on an interface: The configuration on an interface takes precedence over the global
configuration. If the configuration on an interface is not done, 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:
timer hello interval
The interval for sending Hello messages is configured.
4. Run:
hello-option holdtime interval
The period for keeping the reachable state of a neighbor is configured.
If the local switch does not receive any Hello message from the neighbor after the
period expires, the local switch considers that the neighbor is unreachable.
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:
pim ipv6 triggered-hello-delay interval
The maximum delay for triggering Hello messages is set.
After the maximum delay is set, the conflict caused by multiple PIM-IPv6 switchs
simultaneously sending Hello message is avoided.
5. Run:
pim ipv6 hello-option holdtime interval
