Applicable Environment
S9300s that run PIM establish the neighbor relation by exchanging Hello messages to negotiate
various control parameters.
S9300s configured with default values can work normally. You can change the values of relevant
parameters according to the specific network environment. If there is no special requirement,
default values are recommended.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before changing the values of parameters for maintaining neighbors, complete the following
tasks:
l Configuring the unicast routing protocol to ensure that IP routes between nodes are
reachable
l 3.4 Configuring Basic PIM-DM Functions
Data Preparation
To change the values of parameters for maintaining neighbors, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Timeout interval of the Hello messages from
neighbors
2 Interval for sending Hello messages
3 Maximum delay for triggering Hello
messages
3.6.2 Setting the PIM Neighbor Control Parameters
Context
The PIM neighbor control parameters can be set globally or on an interface.
l The global configuration is valid for each interface.
l The configuration on an interface is valid only for the specified interface. The configuration
on an interface takes precedence over the global configuration. If the parameters for
maintaining PIM neighbors are not set on the interface, the global configuration is used.
