Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Conflicts will occur if multiple PIM devices sending Hello message at the same time. To avoid such conflicts, when a PIM device detects Hello messages on the network, it waits for a random delay that is smaller than the value configured using this command before sending a Hello message.

To avoid the conflict caused by multiple PIM devices sending Hello message at the same time, the PIM device automatically selects a random number smaller than the configured value as the delay. When detecting Hello messages in the network, the PIM device sends Hello message after the delay.

Prerequisites

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