pim ipv6 hello-option lan-delay

Function

The pim ipv6 hello-option lan-delay command sets the delay in transmitting messages in a shared network in the interface view.

The undo pim ipv6 hello-option lan-delay command restores the default value of the delay.

By default, the delay in transmitting messages in the shared network is 500 ms.

Format

pim ipv6 hello-option lan-delay interval

undo pim ipv6 hello-option lan-delay

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
interval Specifies the delay in transmitting messages in the shared network. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 32767, in milliseconds.

Views

GE interface view, XGE interface view, MultiGE interface view, 25GE interface view, 40GE interface view, 100GE interface view, Eth-Trunk interface view, VLANIF interface view, loopback interface view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Hello messages sent switches carry lan-delay and override-interval values. The lan-delay parameter indicates the delay in transmitting messages in the LAN. If devices on the same link have different lan-delay values, the maximum value is used.

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

The value of the Prune-Pending Timer (PPT) is the sum of lan-delay and override-interval values and refer to the delay from the current device receiving a Prune message from the downstream interface to performing the prune action. If the switch receives a Join message from the downstream interface before the PPT timer expires, it cancels the prune action.

Prerequisites

IPv6 multicast routing has been enabled using the multicast ipv6 routing-enable command in the system view.

Precautions

This command is valid for PIM-SM (IPv6) and PIM-DM (IPv6).

If the prune delay is set too short, the upstream device stops forwarding multicast packets before the downstream device overrides Prune messages of neighbors. Exercise caution when you run this command.

The function of this command in the interface view is the same as that of the hello-option lan-delay (IPv6) command in the PIM-IPv6 view. By default, if the configuration on the interface is not performed, the value configured in the PIM-IPv6 view is used; otherwise, the value configured in the interface view is used.
