The pim timer hello command sets an interval at which a PIM interface sends Hello messages.
The undo pim timer hello command restores the default setting.
By default, a PIM interface sends Hello messages at an interval of 30 seconds.
Usage Scenario
A router on a PIM-SM network needs to send Hello messages periodically to maintain PIM neighbor relationships. To set the interval at which an interface sends Hello messages, run the pim timer hello command.
Prerequisites
The multicast routing function has been enabled using the multicast routing-enable command in the public network instance view or VPN instance view.
Configuration Impact
If the pim timer hello command is run more than once, the latest configuration overrides the previous one.
Precautions
The interval at which an interface sends Hello messages must be shorter than the timeout period of PIM neighbors.
