Command Usage
• PIM-SM routers send periodic hello messages to inform neighboring
routers of their presence, and to determine which router for each LAN
segment will serve as the Designated Router (DR).
• When a router is booted or first configured for PIM-SM, it sends an initial
hello message, and then sets its Hello timer to the configured value. If a
router does not hear from a neighbor for the period specified by the
hello-holdtime (set a period of 3.5 times the hello timer by default), that
neighbor is dropped. This hold time is included in each hello message
received from a neighbor. Also note that hello messages also contain
the DR priority of the router sending the message.
