About this task
Use this procedure to configure the global IPv6 PIM-SM parameters on the switch.
Procedure
Example
Verify the configuration changes:
Switch:1#show ipv6 pim ========================================================================================== Pim General Group - GlobalRouter ========================================================================================== PimStat : enabled Mode : sparse StaticRP : disabled SptInfiniteThreshold : enabled FwdCacheTimeout : 210 DiscDataTimeout : 60 RegSupprTimeout : 60 UniRouteChangeTimeout : 5 JoinPruneInt : 60
Variable Definitions
The following table describes the variables for the ipv6 pim command.
Variable | Value |
---|---|
disc-data-timeout <5-65535> |
Specifies the duration in seconds to discard data until the switch receives the join message from the rendezvous point (RP). An IP multicast discard record is created after a register packet is sent, until the timer expires or the switch receives a join message. The default value is 60. |
enable |
Enables PIM globally on the switch. The default is disabled. |
fwd-cache-timeout <10-86400> |
Specifies the forward cache timeout value. The default value is 120. |
join-prune-interval <1-18724> |
Specifies the duration in seconds before the PIM router sends out the next join or prune message to its upstream neighbors. The default value is 60. |
mode <sparse> <ssm> |
Configures PIM mode on the switch. The default value is sparse. |
register-suppression-timeout <10-65535> |
Specifies the duration in seconds the designated router (DR) suppresses sending registers to the RP. The timer starts after the DR receives a register-stop message from the RP. The default value is 60. |
spt-infinite-threshold |
Enables PIM Infinite Threshold Policy for IPv6, so that multicast traffic follows the shared tree path through a Rendezvous Point (RP) instead of automatically switching over to shortest path tree (SPT). The default is disabled. |
static-rp |
Add new static-rp entries and enable static-rp. |
unicast-route-change-timeout <2-65535> |
Specifies the duration in seconds the switch polls the RTM for unicast routing information updates for PIM. The default value is 5. |
