Command Reference. 

 

Enabling state-refresh capability 

Pruned interfaces resume multicast forwarding when the pruned state times out. To prevent this, the 

router directly connected with the IPv6 multicast source periodically sends an (S, G) state-refresh 
message, which is forwarded hop by hop along the initial flooding path of the IPv6 PIM-DM domain, to 

refresh the prune timer state of all the routers on the path. A multi-access subnet can have the state-

refresh capability only if the state-refresh capability is enabled on all IPv6 PIM routers on the subnet. 
Follow these steps to enable the state-refresh capability:  

To do...

 

Use the command...

Configuring state refresh parameters 

The router directly connected with the multicast source periodically sends state-refresh messages. You 

can configure an interval for sending such messages. 
A router might receive multiple state-refresh messages within a short time, and some of them might be 

duplicated messages. To keep a router from receiving such duplicated messages, you can configure the 
time that the router must wait before receiving the next state-refresh message. If the router receives a new 

state-refresh message within the waiting time, the router will discard it. If this timer times out, the router 

will accept a new state-refresh message, refresh its own IPv6 PIM-DM state, and reset the waiting timer.  
The hop limit value of a state-refresh message decrements by 1 whenever it passes a router before it is 
forwarded to the downstream node until the hop limit value comes down to 0. In a small network, a 

state-refresh message might cycle in the network. To control the propagation scope of state-refresh 

messages, you must configure an appropriate hop limit value based on the network size.  
Perform the following configurations on all routers in the IPv6 PIM domain.  
Follow these steps to configure state-refresh parameters:  

To do...

 

Use the command...
