Modifying Graft Retransmit Timer
The Graft Retransmit Timer defines the interval between the transmission of graft messages.
A graft message is sent by a router to cancel a prune state. When a router receives a graft message, the router
responds with a Graft Ack (acknowledge) message. If this Graft Ack message is lost, the router that sent the graft
message will resend it.
USING THE CLI
To change the graft retransmit timer from the default of 180 to 90 seconds, enter the following:
HP9300(config)# router pim
HP9300(config-pim-router)# graft-retransmit-timer 90
Syntax: graft-retransmit-timer <10-3600>
The default is 180 seconds.
