December 2000
18 - 9
5.
Enter a value from 10 – 3600 into the Neighbor Router Timeout field.
6.
Click the Apply button to save the change to the device’s running-config file.
7.
Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.
Modifying Hello Timer
This parameter defines the interval at which periodic hellos are sent out PIM interfaces. Routers use hello
messages to inform neighboring routers of their presence. The default rate is 60 seconds.
USING THE CLI
To apply a PIM hello timer of 120 seconds to all ports on the router operating with PIM, enter the following:
BigIron(config)# router pim
BigIron(config-pim-router)# hello-timer 120
Syntax:
hello-timer <10-3600>
The default is 60 seconds.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1.
Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access.
2.
If you have not already enabled PIM, enable it by clicking on the Enable radio button next to PIM on the
System configuration panel, then clicking Apply to apply the change.
3.
Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to expand the list of configuration options.
4.
Click on the plus sign next to PIM in the tree view to expand the list of PIM option links.
5.
Click on the General link to display the PIM configuration panel
6.
Enter a value from 10 – 3600 into the Prune Time field.
7.
Click the Apply button to save the change to the device’s running-config file.
8.
Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.
Modifying Prune Timer
This parameter defines how long a Foundry PIM router will maintain a prune state for a forwarding entry.
The first received multicast interface is forwarded to all other PIM interfaces on the router. If there is no presence
of groups on that interface, the leaf node sends a prune message upstream and stores a prune state. This prune
state travels up the tree and installs a prune state.
