pim hello-option override-interval

Function

The pim hello-option override-interval command sets the interval carried in Hello messages for overriding the prune action on the interface.

The undo pim hello-option override-interval command, restores the default configuration.

By default, the interval carried in Hello messages for overriding the prune action on the interface is 2500 milliseconds.

Format

pim hello-option override-interval interval

undo pim hello-option override-interval

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
interval Specifies the interval of overriding the prune action. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 65535, in milliseconds.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Hello messages sent from switches carry lan-delay and override-interval parameters. The override-interval parameter indicates the period during which a downstream switch can override the prune action.

When a switch sends a Prune message to the upstream device in the same network segment, other switches that still request multicast data need to send a Join message to the upstream device within the override-interval period.

If switches in the same network segment have different override-interval values, the maximum value is used.

The value of Prune-Pending Timer (PPT) is the sum of lan-delay and override-interval values. When receiving a Prune message from a downstream interface, the switch does not perform the prune action until the PPT times out. If the switch receives a Join message from the downstream interface in PPT, the interface cancels the Prune action.

Prerequisites

IP multicast routing has been enabled using the multicast routing-enable command.

Configuration Impact

If you run the pim hello-option override-interval command multiple times, only the latest configuration takes effect.

Precautions

This command is valid for PIM-SM and PIM-DM.

The pim hello-option override-interval command has the same function as the hello-option override-interval (IPv4) command in the PIM view. By default, if the pim hello-option override-interval command is not used, the value configured in the PIM view is used; otherwise, the value configured in the interface view is used.

Example

# Set the interval for overriding the prune action in Hello messages to 2000 ms in VLANIF100.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] multicast routing-enable
[HUAWEI] interface vlanif 100
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] pim hello-option override-interval 2000
# Set the interval for overriding the prune action in Hello messages to 2000 ms in GE0/0/1.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] multicast routing-enable
[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] undo portswitch
