pim ipv6 timer join-prune

Function

The pim ipv6 timer join-prune command sets the interval for periodically sending Join/Prune messages to the upstream device.

The undo pim ipv6 timer join-prune command restores the default interval.

By default, the interval for periodically sending Join/Prune messages to the upstream device is 60 seconds.

Format

pim ipv6 timer join-prune interval

undo pim ipv6 timer join-prune

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
interval	Specifies the interval at which Join/Prune messages are sent.	The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 18000, in seconds.

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The device sends join information to the upstream device, requesting the upstream device to forward multicast data. The device sends prune information to the upstream device, requesting the upstream device to stop forwarding multicast data. Join information and prune information are encapsulated in Join/Prune messages. The device periodically sends Join/Prune messages to the upstream device to update the forwarding status.

Prerequisites

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

Precautions

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

The interval configured through this command must be shorter than the interval configured through the pim ipv6 holdtime join-prune command. The interval at which Join or Prune messages are sent must be shorter than the holdtime carried in Join/Prune messages.

The configuration is the same as that of the timer join-prune (IPv6) command in the PIM-IPv6 view. The system prefers the configuration in the interface view. The value configured in the PIM-IPv6 view is used if no value is configured on the interface.

Example

# Set the interval for sending Join or Prune messages to 80 seconds on VLANIF100.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] multicast ipv6 routing-enable
[HUAWEI] interface vlanif 100
[HUAWEI-Vlanif100] pim ipv6 timer join-prune 80

# Set the interval for sending Join or Prune messages to 80 seconds on GE0/0/1.
