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 <unsigned_int 0 – 4294967294>}]
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 – 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 – 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.
Restrictions
Only Administrator or Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure the PIM settings for an IP interface:
DES-3800:admin#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.
