13.8.2 Configuring Control Parameters for Keeping the Forwarding
Relationship
The control parameters of multicast data forwarding can be set either globally or on an interface.
The parameters specify the interval for sending Join/Prune messages and the period for a
downstream interface to keep the Join/Prune state.
Context
Do as follows on the PIM-SM (IPv6) switch:
NOTE
The configuration of the control parameters for maintaining the forwarding relationship 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 join-prune interval
The interval for sending Join/Prune messages is set.
4. Run:
holdtime join-prune interval
The value of the Holdtime field in the sent Join/Prune message is set.
The Holdtime period is the period for keeping the Forwarding/Prune state of the
downstream interface.
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 join-prune interval
The interval for sending Join/Prune messages is set.
