Huawei quidway s7700 - Configuring the Period for Keeping the Assert State

Data Preparation
To adjust control parameters for asset, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 The period for keeping the Assert state
13.9.2 Configuring the Period for Keeping the Assert State
The device that fails the election prevents its downstream interface from forwarding multicast
data during the Assert state. After the holdtime of the Assert state expires, the downstream
interface can forward multicast data.
Context
Do as follows on all switchs in the PIM-SM (IPv6) domain:
NOTE
The configuration of control parameters for Assert 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:
holdtime assert interval
The period for keeping the Assert state is configured.
The switch that fails in the election prohibits the downstream interface from
forwarding multicast data in this period. After the period expires, the switch restores
the forwarding of the downstream interface.
l Configuration on an Interface
1. Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
2. Run:
