config pim
Purpose Used to configure the parameters for the PIM protocol.
Syntax
config pim [[ipif <ipif_name 12> | all] {hello <sec 1-18724> | jp_interval <sec 1-
18724> | state [enable | disable] | mode [dm | sm] | dr_priority <uint 0 –
4294967294>} | register_probe_time <value 1-127> | register_suppression_time
<value 3-255>]
Description This command will configure the general settings for the PIM protocol per IP
interface, including choice of PIM mode, Designated Router priority and various
timers.
Parameters ipif <ipif_name 12> - Enter an IP interface for which to configure the PIM settings.
This name cannot exceed 12 alphanumeric characters.
all – Select this parameter to configure PIM settings for all IP interfaces on the
Switch.
hello <sec 1-18724> - Used to set the interval time between the sending of Hello
Packets from this IP interface to neighboring routers one hop away. These Hello
packets are used to discover other PIM enabled routers and state their priority as the
Designated Router (DR) on the PIM enabled network. The user may state an interval
time between 1 and 18724 seconds with a default interval time of 30 seconds.
jp_interval <sec 1-18724> - This field will set the interval time between the sending of
Join/Prune packets stating which multicast groups are to join the PIM enabled
network and which are to be removed or “pruned” from that group. The user may
state an interval time between 1 and 18724 seconds with a default interval time of 30
seconds.
state [enable | disable] - Used to enable or disable PIM for this IP interface. The
default is Disabled.
mode [dm | sm] - Used to select the type of PIM protocol to use, Sparse Mode (SM)
or Dense Mode (DM). The default setting is DM.
dr_priority <unsigned_int 0 – 4294967294> - Enter the priority of this IP interface to
become the Designated Router for the multiple access network. The user may enter a
DR priority between 0 and 4,294,967,294 with a default setting of 1.
register_probe_time <value 1-127> - Configure this field to set a time to send a
probe message from the DR to the RP before the Register Suppression time expires.
The user may configure a time between 1and 127 seconds with a default setting of 5
seconds.
register_suppression_time <value 3-255> - <value 3-255> - The user may set an
interval time between 3 and255 with a default setting of 60 seconds for the sending of
register suppression time packets. The default value is 60 seconds.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure the PIM settings for an IP interface:
DGS-3600:4#config pim ipif Trinity hello 60 jp_interval 60 state enable mode sm dr_priority 2
Command: config pim ipif Trinity hello 60 jp_interval 60 state enable mode sm dr_priority 2
Success.
DGS-3600:4#
NOTE: The Probe time value must be less than half of the Register
Suppression Time value. If not, the administrator will be presented with a
Fail message.
