How to Configure PIM Dense Mode State Refresh
Configuring PIM Dense Mode State Refresh
There are no configuration tasks for enabling the PIM Dense Mode State Refresh feature. By default, all PIM
routers that are running a Cisco IOS XE software release that supports the PIM Dense Mode State Refresh
feature automatically process and forward state refresh control messages.
To disable the processing and forwarding of state refresh control messages on a PIM router, use the
ip pim
state-refresh disable
global configuration command. To enable state refresh again if it has been disabled, use
the
no ip pim state-refresh disable
global configuration command.
The origination of state refresh control messages is disabled by default. To configure the origination of the
control messages on a PIM router, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Purpose
Command
Specifies an interface and places the router in interface
configuration mode.
Router(config)#
interface type number
Configures the origination of the PIM Dense Mode
State Refresh control message. Optionally, you can
configure the number of seconds between control
messages by using the
interval
argument. The default
interval is 60 seconds. The interval range is 1 second
to 100 seconds.
Router(config-if)#
